ClassClass““CLASSCLASS is a function of the precision of a is a function of the precision of a survey network, reflecting the precision of survey network, reflecting the precision of observations as well as suitability of observations as well as suitability of network design, survey methods, network design, survey methods, instruments and reduction techniques used instruments and reduction techniques used in that survey. Preferably the CLASS is in that survey. Preferably the CLASS is verified by an analysis of the minimally verified by an analysis of the minimally constrained least squares adjustment of constrained least squares adjustment of the network.”the network.”

Testing ClassTesting Class
The semi major axis of each relative The semi major axis of each relative error ellipse is tested against:-error ellipse is tested against:-
r = c(d + 0.2)r = c(d + 0.2)
r = Maximum allowable semi-major axis in mmr = Maximum allowable semi-major axis in mm
c = Factor to relate Distance to Error c = Factor to relate Distance to Error

““ORDERORDER is a function of the class of a is a function of the class of a survey, the conformity of the new data set survey, the conformity of the new data set AND the precision of any transformation AND the precision of any transformation process process requiredrequired to convert the results to convert the results from one datum to anotherfrom one datum to another””

Avoiding ErrorsAvoiding Errors
Specifications and Recommended Practices have been designed to minimize errors
GPS Errors can be put in 2 groups... Factors which affect Phase data and Factors which affect Phase data and
thus the GPS Processingthus the GPS Processing Factors external to Processing which Factors external to Processing which
can affect the final resultcan affect the final result
Factors Affecting ProcessingFactors Affecting Processing Observation Time Number and Geometry of Satellites Quality of Starting Coordinates Broadcast vs Precise Ephemeris Ionospheric and Tropospheric delay Site Specific Errors such as Multipath All affect ability to correctly solve for
