4.3Convert

Convert is a 32-bit Windows application and is shown in Figure 6. Convert will accept GPS file formats and convert them to ASCII, Binary or Rinex format. The application also allows the user to screen out particular logs by selecting the desired logs from the list of available logs. This feature is useful for screening particular logs out of large data files in either ASCII or Binary formats.
