Dear Octavian,

thanks for spotting that. 

Relatively to issue number 2 (receiver type not following IGS naming 
convention), this has now been fixed for daily files of 7 out of 8 sites 
(all the sites located in New Zealand and Antarctica).

Rinex3 headers will follow IGS standards starting from doy 301/2016.

Kind regards,

Elisabetta

v5.14

Dear all,

I would like to bring into your attention the following bugs we discovered 
after we updated the receiver firmware at our CUUT IGS multi-GNSS station. 
I believe the information will contribute to higher consistency in the IGS 
data archive.

The receiver internal translator to RINEX 3.02 in firmware v5.14 for 
Trimble NetR9 receivers introduces two new bugs.

1) 
The first bug is an inconsistency with RINEX 3.02 standard. Page A10 / A14 
at https://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/rinex302.pdf defines the 
RINEX header label 'GLONASS COD/PHS/BIS’. However, the receiver internal 
translator to RINEX outputs an extra hashtag instead of a white space.

GLONASS COD/PHS/BIS#

As a result, other data management or processing software that rigorously 
implements the standard fail to recognise the RINEX 3.02 generated 
observation file as valid file.

I have done a quick check on all long name files on 2016-290. There are 30 
stations reporting firmware 5.14. Twelve stations report their RINEX files 
with the above bug. I give the list below:

0.000 C2P    0.000        GLONASS COD/PHS/BIS#

However, only CUT0 reports firmware NetR9 5.14 and thus gets this bug from 
the receiver internal translator.

The other stations seem to get this bug from JAXA’s dconv program (or 
preserve the above bug if the program does not apply rigorous checks on 
the RINEX format):

2)
In addition, the v5.14 receiver internal translator to RINEX also does not 
fix the IGS naming convention (
https://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab) for the 
receiver type name that is still reported uncapitalised (i.e., Trimble 
NetR9 instead of TRIMBLE NETR9). 

Again at a check on the same files, there are 23 stations reporting 
correct 'TRIMBLE NETR9'. However, eight stations (seven with 5.14) report 
non-IGS name:

As a result, some processing software may not recognise correctly the 
receiver type, once again depending on how strict are the internal checks 
for the input files.

Hopefully, the responsible persons to correct these bugs and 
inconsistencies will find the information beneficial.

Best regards,
Octavian
