1.1 Project File
1) Choose the folder path
2) Enter a project name
3) Select Modify>>Create>>Datum>>Change.
Click Add to define new datum, you can set proper parameters (ellipsoid and projection) for your new
coordinate system; Also Click Modify to edit the currently coordinate parameters.
Firstly check “use default ellipsoid”, select the proper ellipsoid from the list, and then enter the Coordinate
System Name.
Enter 3 or 7 parameters if needed.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 3
Select the proper projection model, and enter parameters according to the Project location.
In Geoid Models, check Add Geoid Modules, click Add Geoid File to input a Geoid module. Then click OK to
finish datum modify.
Then you can select the coordinate system you built, click OK to active this datum in the current project.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 4
Tip: the coordinate system and its parameters also can be edited in Tools -> datum manager.
1.2 Import raw observation files
To import GNSS raw data, click File -> Import in the menu bar. The static observation file can be imported
directly; For PPK and dynamic data, please check “Import Dynamic files”.
Tip: PProceesing only can support dynamic raw data in SingularXYZ CNB format.
After importing the raw data, click Observation -> select the observation file in the navigation pane, then
right-click on the file name to edit properties, including station name and antenna information.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 5
1.3 Constraint known points
To ensure all stations within your local grid coordinate system, at least 1 station should be fixed on a known
point. Click station -> properties -> Known Point to enter coordinate values (check the Constraint).
Tip: You can get the default coordinate value under current coordinate system by clicking Default. It should
not be a big difference between the default value and the known value; otherwise, check the coordinate
system parameters.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 6
This chapter will introduce how to process GNSS raw data in static and PPK mode respectively, which helps
you to learn about the basic settings in the software.
2.1 Static baseline processing
In static mode, PP Software Solution can directly process baseline vectors of different sites with
simultaneously recorded GNSS raw data. We recommended that at least 3 receivers observe at the same
time to form the simultaneously loop of baselines.
2.1.1 View
The static baseline vector will be automatically formed after importing GNSS raw data. Go to Project ->
Map to check the baseline vectors.
2.1.2 Baseline Process Settings
Before starting static baseline processing, click Processor -> Baseline setting in the menu bar to set proper
processing parameters. The settings are related to data import rules, observations, troposphere and
ionosphere.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 7
• Sampling Interval: the data processing interval, the value should be greater than the interval used
during recording of the data.
• Elevation Mask: the minimum mask angle to be used. When the data is a good quality the mask
should be between 10 and 15 degrees.
• Min Time (Min.): the minimum observation period of GNSS raw data to form the baseline.
• Max Distance (km): the maximum observation distance of GNSS raw data to form the baseline.
• Select proper correction model for Troposphere and Ionosphere.
• Weather parameters: Temperature, Air pressure and Relative.
• Allow you to disable satellites individually so that data from these satellites will not be part of the
solution.
• PP Software time offset: default value is 14.
2.1.3 Static Baseline process
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 8
After setting the baseline process parameters, click Processor -> Process Static Baselines.
After all baseline processed, check the quality value (Solution type, Radio and RMS) and baseline
information (dx,dy,dz,ds) shown in the view area. To acquire a high- accuracy result, also check:
• Solution value from Unsolved to Fix
• Radio should be smaller than warning value you set (default as 3)
• RMS value< 0.00X (millimeter accuracy)
• Check: valid
Alternatively, click Adjustment -> Search Loop’s Errors to check PPM value of loop and detailed baseline
processing information.
If the baseline RMS and Ratio values cannot meet standard requirements, edit the baseline manually and
process it again.
Delete bad observation data in the Timeline window based on the Quality window. As the below example
shown, observation data with a bad quality should be deleted from Timeline window.
Tip: In the Time Line window, selecting the observation means delete the observation data, double choose
left checkbox to clear the selecting to restore the deleted observations.
1. Process this baseline again to acquire a better result.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 9
You can also edit baselines, including:
• Baseline setup: shortcut to baseline processing setting.
• Baseline report: create report for baseline processing result.
• Details of processing: show details of calculation procedure parameter.
• Baseline delete: delete this baseline from your project, which is not recommended.
• Baseline forbidden: forbid this baseline to be part of the solution, used only when the baseline
without good accuracy.
• Baseline using: allow this baseline to be part of the network adjustment.
• Reverse start and end: reverse the direction of baseline vector.
• Baseline properties: include general information, fix solution and float solution.
2.1.4 Network Adjustment
In this section, you will carry out a least squares adjustment using the processed baselines above. First go
to Adjustment -> Adjustment setup in the menu bar.
• 3D: WGS84 coordinate as control points
• 2D: Horizontal adjustment, use local gird coordinates as control points
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 10
• Height Fitting: Height adjustment
Tip: we recommend that you apply 2D & Height to adjust baselines.
Then click Adjustment->Run Adjustment, click OK to complete adjustment.
2.2 PPK (Post-Processing Kinematic)
For PPK (Post processed Kinematic) mode, it can process trajectories of rover combined with base station
static data. Commonly, set the sampling interval of base station as 1/s and fix it on the known point
2.2.1 Dynamic baseline processing
Setting up process parameters for the dynamics baseline, which should be the same as static baseline
processing setting (the sampling interval is 1/s).
Right-click on the file’s name to process this baseline alone. The figure is shown below:
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 11
Click Next to finish dynamic baseline processing, you will see the baseline information, i.e. Epoch Num,
Fixed Epoch and Fixed percentage.
Double right click on the Dynamic baseline to check detailed information of each point.
2.2.2 Map View
After dynamic baseline processing, you can go to Project -> Map to have a look at trajectories of your rover.

This chapter will introduce how to export processing reports
3.1 Static Report
Go to Report in the main menu bar, you can output a network adjustment report in web format. It contains
five parts: project property, coordinate system, baseline, 3D non-constraint adjustment and 3D constraint
adjustment, which help you to check the result of baselines and adjustments.
The most important parameter you should check is X square check, if it shows fail, copy the value of
reference factor to Adjustment -> Adjustment Setup -> Free adjustment, then run adjustment again.
Tip: The X square check parameter is meaningful for triangle network adjustment. For single baseline
processing, you only need to check parameters, i.e. Solution, Ratio and RMS.
Other report formats can be exported, including brief report, DXF and KML. In the end, click File -> Save to
save your project.
3.2 PPK Report
Double-click on this baseline to check the detailed information.
SAGRO10 Guidance System User Manual 14
In the detailed information page, right click to select Filter -> Export format, Solution Setup -> OK to set
the report format.
Export format:
• Latitude/longitude: export the report in WGS84 coordinate system
• Projection: export the report in local grid coordinate system.
• Relative 2D: Horizontal distance relative to base station
• Relative distance: 3D distance relative to base station
Solve style: Filter the processing results, commonly choose Fixed carrier phase (centimeter accuracy).
a) Output report, PPK report or KML format, we recommend to save the report in **.csv format, which
makes it easier to analyze post-processing result. And the KML allows you to save files in the format

b) After exporting the report, go to the main menu bar -> File -> Save, save the project.
