The GNSS Measurement Tools code is provided for you to:
read data from GnssLogger App,
compute and visualize pseudoranges,
compute weighted least squares position and velocity,
view and analyze carrier phase (if it is present in the log file).

Initial setup:
1) Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory, for example:
~/gpstools/*
and include the directory '~/gpstools/opensource' in your matlab path:
addpath('~/gpstools/opensource');
(Note: the tilde '~' is a place holder, don't actually use it,
fill in the actual complete path)
2) Edit ProcessGnssMeasScript.m to add the demoFiles directory, as follows:
dirName = '~/gpstools/opensource/demoFiles'
(again, replace tilde '~' with actual complete path)
3) Run ProcessGnssMeasScript.m, it will run with pre-recorded log files.

To process a log file you collected from GnssLogger:
1) save the log file in a directory
2) edit ProcessGpsMeasScript.m, specify the file name and directory path
3) run ProcessGpsMeasScript.m

The code includes a function (GetNasaHourlyEphemeris.m) to read ephemeris
files from the NASA's archive of Space Geodesy Data, ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov
It will automatically go to the ftp when you have a new log file.
On some systems you need to use passive mode FTP; if this is required, see
The Mathworks site for how to do it.
Or (simpler): get the appropriate ephemeris file 'by hand' from the Nasa ftp
site (GetNasaHourlyEphemeris.m will tell you the correct url and filename),
copy the file to the directory where your log file is,
and GetNasaHourlyEphemeris.m will read it from there.

For a summary of the open source GNSS Measurements Tools,
see ~/gpstools/opensource/Contents.m
or type 'help opensource' in matlab command window

Platform specific notes:

For Windows: use '\' (backslash), instead of '/' for directories.

For Mac: when installing MATLAB.

Uncompress/Unzip utility called from GetNasaHourlyEphemeris.m:
The ephemeris on the Nasa ftp is Unix-compressed. GetNasaHourlyEphemeris will
automatically uncompress it, if you have the right uncompress function on your
computer. If you need to install an unzip utility, see http://www.gpzip.org
Then search for 'uncompress' in the GetNasaHourlyEphemeris function to find and
edit the name of the unzip utility:
unzipCommand='uncompress';%edit if your platform uses something different
If you uncompress the file 'by hand' and rerun GetNasaHourlyEphemeris.m, it will
read the uncompressed file.
