Duty cycle: PTT#1 = one fix every 2 h on a 12 h ON/ 12 h OFF cycle from 7:00 to 19:00 UTC, Data retrieval every 2 days, CTT#1 = one fix every 30 s from sunrise to sunset. Data retrieval every day, CTT#2 = one fix every 15 min from sunrise to sunset. Data retrieval once a certain number of fixes are stored, CTT#3 = one fix every 15 min from sunrise to sunset. Data retrieval every day. Days with a fix (% of days obtaining at least one GPS fix), FLR = Fix Loss Rate (fraction of scheduled fixes that are lost), % 3D (% of fixes that are acquired with three or more satellites and have altitude information). DRLR = Data Retrieval Loss Rate (fraction of scheduled data retrievals that are unsuccessful). Fix Time-lag = time lag between consecutive fixes. Retrieval Time-lag = time lag between consecutive data retrievals.
