Antenna settings If you intend to postprocess your GNSS data using the postprocessing engine in the GPS Pathfinder Office software version 4. 20 and later, Trimble Strongly recommends that you select the antenna correctly. The new postprocessing engine in the GPS Pathfinder Office software version 4. 20 is more sensitive to antenna selection than was the case in prior versions. Because of this, the accuracy of postprocessed positions may be significantly degraded if you collect an SSF file that either does not specify the antenna type that was used during data collection, or specifies it incorrectly. There are two options: GPS Pathfinder Tools SDK Release Notes 3 · Call the PFTSSFWriter. ShowAntennaSettingsDialog method. This presents the user with a list of available antenna types, from which they can select the antenna type they are using. Call the PFTSSFWriter. SetAntennaSettings method. This allows the antenna type and associated parameters to be set programmatically, either to a fixed value if known, or to a value obtained from a custom configuration file, custom UI, or some other source. · Refer to the GPS Pathfinder Tools SDK Help files and the Developer's Guide for more information.
