The [Canadian Active Control] system consists of unattended tracking stations, referred to as Active Control Points (ACPs), which continuously record carrier phase and pseudo-range measurements for all satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) within station view. Each ACP is equipped with a high precision dual frequency GPS receiver and an atomic frequency standard. Temperature, pressure and humidity data are also collected at selected ACP sites. The data collected at each ACP is retrieved on a daily basis by a central processing facility in Ottawa. 2, record 1, English, - active%20control%20point

Le système consiste en des stations de poursuite autonomes, appelées points de contrôle actifs (ACP), qui enregistrent continuellement les données observées de tous les satellites du GPS à leur portée. Chacun des ACP est doté d'un récepteur de précision à double fréquence et d'une horloge atomique. Des observations météorologiques comprenant la température, la pression atmosphérique et l'humidité relative sont aussi enregistrées à certains sites. Les données recueillies par chaque ACP sont extraites chaque jour par un centre de traitement situé dans les locaux de la DLG à Ottawa. 4, record 1, French, - point%20de%20contr%C3%B4le%20actif
