D Logs Summary

RTKA/B Computed Position - Time Matched RTK
This log represents positions that have been computed from time matched reference and remote observations.
There is no reference station extrapolation error on these positions but because they are based on buffered
measurements, they lag real time by some amount depending on the latency of the data link. If the remote receiver
has not been enabled to accept RTK differential data, or is not actually receiving data leading to a valid solution,
this will be reflected by the code shown in field #16 (RTK status) and #17 (position type).
The data in the logs will change only when a reference observation (RTCM Type 59 or the corresponding RTCA
Type 7) changes. If the log is being output at a fixed rate and the differential data is interrupted, then the RTKA/B
logs will continue to be output at the same rate but the position and time will not change.
A good message trigger for this log is "ONCHANGED". Then, only positions related to unique reference station
messages will be produced, and the existence of this log will indicate a successful link to the reference station.
