Mission Planning

To calculate the observation conditions, such as satellites visibility and PDOP values for survey anywhere in the world.

This feature is useful to find out the best timing for observations at the specified point (mission planning point). MAGNET Field performs such calculations using Almanac data. If MAGNET Field is connected to a GNSS receiver, the application downloads Almanac Data from the receiver and uses the latest navigation data to calculate the corresponding values. If MAGNET Field is not connected to a receiver, the application uses Almanac Data saved during the last receiver connection.

MAGNET Field presents the calculated satellite observation conditions as four diagrams. Select a diagram to display from the drop-down list in the dialog's top right corner.

Click in the dialog's title bar to open the Mission Planning Setting dialog and specify coordinates, date, duration and other parameters of the planned mission.

Click to close the dialog and open the Setup menu.
