button.
Each of the satellites being tracked are represented with icons according to their satellite system
as follows:
as follows:
• Circular for GPS
• Square for GLONASS
• Hexagon for SBAS
There are also information icons and values at the bottom of the window:
• The number of GPS/GLONASS satellites used in the solution verses the number
being tracked. For example, 0/6 next to the Russian flag means that while the
receiver is tracking 6 GLONASS satellites, none are currently used in the position
solution.

• Satellite PRN number Azimuth and Elevation angle values
• Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) value and indicator
The PRN of the satellite is displayed on the icon and color-coding is used to indicate the status of
the satellite or the tracking channel. Click on a satellite to display information on that satellite.

Channel Tracking Status Window: The Channel Tracking Status window displays key
information for each of the receiver's processing channels, including the PRN of the satellite
being tracked by that channel, the Signal to Noise Ratio, Pseudorange measurements, Doppler
values, Residuals measurements and Lock Time from the satellite.

The TRACKSTAT log provides the data for many of the fields listed in this window. The number
of channels displayed depends on the model of your receiver and the bars are color-keyed to indi-
cate the frequency type on the channel.
