These options include:
 Enable Cell Screening – if checked, the selection in “Minimum Beam SNR (dB)”
will be used as a filter. Any cells with SNR less than the value in “Minimum Beam
SNR (dB)” will be filtered out of the dataset and not displayed.
 Use Composite Tracks – If checked, the composite tracks feature will work as
follows:
o If bottom track is the selected track reference: automatically use a
GNSS/GPS track when a bottom track sample is invalid. If the GGA
sample has quality 4, the GGA track reference will be used, otherwise the
VTG track reference will be used, if valid.
o If GGA is the selected track reference: automatically use VTG track
when a GGA sample is less than quality 2. If no valid VTG data exist,
bottom track will be used as the track reference.
