Orion - InteTrak Modules

InteTrak Software Modules

InteTrak consists of four modules: IT_DBConfig, InteTrak, ScanSolution and IT_Export.

IT_DBConfig

The release of InteTrak vers. 2.0 featured the front-to-backend integration with the embedded database server as InteTrak's core configuration and product data repository (IT-DB). IT_DBConfig serves as its management interface. IT_DBConfig enables the definition and creation of databases and tables that define the network and processing projects run by InteTrak.exe. It serves as the index or repository for all GPS measurement and solution data. It provides visual insight into the structure and content of the InteTrak databases and tables through tree and tabular views of IT-DB contents. And it provides a menu-driven interface to basic database management commands.

InteTrak

InteTrak is the central software application, a multi-threaded, high-speed executable that manages the majority of tasks involved in GPS network operations, primarily collection of GPS network data, execution of high-precision GPS processing, and archival of GPS raw measurement and position data. InteTrak:

Reads project configurations from the IT-DB.
Initiates and manages data streaming from the GPS field stations.
Archives raw GPS code and carrier phase measurements and satellite ephemeredes.
Reads network processing project configurations.
Performs all near-real time static and kinematic processing executions.
Performs all post-processing executions (for re-analysis and special projects).
Parses and archives all processed position and solution data.
Provides graphical display of the streaming and processing status, statistics and messages.

ScanSolution

ScanSolution supports user analysis of GPS processing and position time series. SS enables the analysis of deformation, signal quality and noise sources in the generated position time series and provides automated and manual tools for filtering position outliers. And it provides for user-defined generation of data exports and statistical reports for subsets of sites.

IT_Export

IT_Export is the primary tool for automated and large-scope GPS data exports and statistical reports. This module is used primarily for automatic generation of:

Position/solution data exports to CSV or text files for input into third-party applications.
Statistical reports summarizing station displacement histories.
