The following changes are foreseen: - firmware upgrade from 3.3.32.4 to 3.3.32.2N (necessary for RT-IGS) - current datalogging software will replaced by BMR from NRCAN - sample rate will be increased from 30 sec to 1 sec interval Data continues to be made available in the normal fashion through ftp uploads of daily RINEX files, as well as direct streaming to RT-IGS and hourly file uploads. Please note that the sample rate of the receiver will be changed from 30 seconds to 1 second. This will have consequences for the daily RINEX files as these will be created from the 1 Hz data stream and therefore code and carrier phase data will not anymore be smoothed by the Turbo Rogue. This is most notable in the values of MP1 and MP2 which will be increased in the new situation. We believe this will not present problems for the IGS Analysis Centers and other users. However, in case you foresee problems for your application please let us know as soon as possible (preferably before Wednesday) so that we can address the issues and/or delay the update. The receiver itself, the antenna configuration and connection to the H-Maser will not be changed. An updated sitelog will be submitted after the update.
