OBSERVATIONS - Observation rep. within record for m(FI4.3, - LL1 each obs. type (same req I1, - Signal strength as given In header) I1) This record is repeated for each satellite given in EPOCH/SAT - record. If more than 5 observation types (=80 char): Continue observations in next record. Observations: Phase : Units in whole cycles of carrier Code : Units in meters Missing observations are written as 0.0 or blanks. Loss of lock indicator (LL1, important for phase only) 0 or blank: OK or not known 1 (=bit 0): lost lock between previous and current observation: cycle slip possible 2 (=bit 1): Inverse wavelength factor to default (does NOT change default) 3 (=bits 0,1): lost lock, Inverse wlfact Signal strength projected into interval 1-9: 1: minimum possible signal strength 5: threshold for good S/W ratio 9: maximum possible signal strength 0 or blank: not known, don't care
