GNSS
The Carrier tab allows you to view and configure the following settings for the GNSS carrier.
Start GPS Time (Date and Time)
Klobuchar Ionosphere Parameters
Initial Direction (Azimuth Angle in Degrees)
The parameters in the GNSS Settings tab are further grouped into the following five tabs.

Satellite power reference is the absolute power of one satellite signal with 0dB relative power. When real-time application is turned on, the amplitude on the front panel will be set to satellite power reference. When satellite power reference is changed, the amplitude on the front panel will also be updated.

Sets the start date and GPS time for the scenario simulation. Start GPS Time must be later than 1980-01-06 00:00:00. It is automatically updated by Time of Application (TOA) information in the selected almanac file.
For dynamic scenarios, the start time is automatically updated by the first GGA message in the selected NMEA file.
You can ignore the auto-updated date time and manually enter your own value, but it is recommended to use the same date as the almanac date and make the start time on a 6 second boundary.
Using the Start GPS Time dialog or SCPI commands, you can set the Start GPS Time in the following two ways.
Set Date and Time
Set Week and TOW. Here, Week is the week number from 1980-01-06 and TOW is the number of seconds from the start of the current week.
Whichever way you use, the specified set of values result in automatic calculation of the other set of values. For instance, if you set the Date and Time values, then the Week and TOW values are automatically calculated.
The format of Start GPS Date and Time is 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'.

Sky view is used to display the elevation and azimuth of the currently visible satellites, from a receiver’s point of view.
You can move mouse over a particular satellite to display a tooltip, showing detailed real-time information about the satellite, such as SV ID, Power, Pseudorange, and Doppler shift.
For L1+L5 satellite, only pseudorange and doppler shift of L1 are displayed in the tooltip.
For Galileo E1+E5 satellite, only pseudorange and doppler shift of E1 are displayed in the tooltip.
For BeiDou B1i/B1C/B2a satellite, only pseudorange and doppler shift of B1I are displayed in the tooltip.
You can click the legend of each constellations to show/hide all satellites in this constellation. This is for Sky view display only and real-time signal is not affected.
Power view is used to display the absolute power of each satellite.
Real-time Trajectory view is used to display the trajectory of receiver.
For Static scenario type, it will be only one point.
You can set the Reference position (Latitude and Longitude) and Max Deviation in the Map View Configuration, and click “Apply”. Or, you can click “Auto” to set the central position and scaling automatically.
The parameters in the Trajectory Generator tab are further grouped into the following three tabs.
General Settings
Trajectory Settings - Various settings in this tab allow you to define the trajectory. There are three types of trajectory segments.
Wait
Straight
Turn
Each segment supports a variety of configurable parameters, including:
Duration
Distance
Acceleration
Ending Velocity
Angle
Radius
Climb
These parameters allow precise customization of the trajectory profile based on a specific test or simulation requirements.
Trajectory Preview - This tab provides a visual preview of the trajectory that you defined in the Trajectory Settings. The start and destination points are clearly marked in this view to indicate the beginning and end of the trajectory. The following is a sample trajectory preview when the Shape is set to Rectangle in the Trajectory Settings tab.
