BTSPE Driver
l Min. position error (estimation cutoff)
Defines a distance in meter which limits the position
estimation to a reasonable accuracy for performance reasons.
If 66% probability of the estimated position falls below this
distance, the estimation process for this transmitter is finished.

BTSPE Driver
l Update rate of results
Defines the period in seconds between estimation orders for
the position estimator. After executing the estimation order,
new position estimation results will be requested from the
position estimator and will be stored in the measurement file
(*.rscmd).

Tower Merger Mode

Assume several transmitters are located on the same tower
(geographic position).
The estimation algorithm can improve estimation accuracy
significantly.

The tower merging supports the following

modes:
OFF: which prevents merging the position of towers
Aggressive: which may improve the amount of
merged signals on the cost of a higher probability of
wrong assumptions
Moderate: which ensures that no signals are merged
by mistake at the cost of less merged signals.
