3. MAGICPPP CLIENT APPLICATION USER MANUAL 

3.1.

 

THE MAGICPPP OVERVIEW 

The magicPPP client application installed in the magicGNSS User Terminal device is a flexible SW tool 
providing real-time PPP solutions. It processes real-time observations provided by the built-in GNSS 
receiver or remote data sources, and navigation data and real-time corrections obtained from different 
provision channels. The magicPPP engine generates a real-time PPP solution in the ITRF14 reference 
frame, together with other complementary and ancillary outputs. 

3.2.

 

FIRST STEPS WITH MAGICPPP 

magicPPP User Terminal application first launch will show to the user the Status and Control panel of 
the application. This view allows the selection of the receiver to be used, launch the application, 
recording sessions and visualize the status of the processing. In other words, it allows to perform 
most of the typical operations performed during the test execution. 

 

 

 

Top Bar and Menu Button 
The  application  top  bar  indicates  the  view  being  visualized  in  each 
moment, the version of the application under execution and in the top-
left the Menu Button ( ) can be found. 
The Menu Button ( ) is a key element for the customer since it allows 
to navigate through the different control, configuration and monitoring 
panels of the application, mainly: 

1.
