The Convert4 utility can be used to produce RINEX files from NovAtel receiver data files.
Although RINEX is intended to be a
When converting to RINEX, two files are produced - a RINEX observation file and a RINEX navigation file. A third GLONASS file is produced if the data contains GLONASS observations. The default names of these files conform to the RINEX Version 2.10 recommended naming convention of ssssdddf.yyt, where:
ssss4 character station name - Convert4 uses the first four characters of the <infile> parameter as the station ID
ddd | day of year |
f | file sequence number within the day - Convert4 sets this to zero |
t | file type: o for the observation and n for the navigation file |
Selecting the RINEX field, see Figure 6, Convert Screen Examples on Page 41, in the Convert To section causes the:
1.Destination File: field to be replaced by the Observation File: and Ephemeris File: fields. Note that Observation File refers to the RINEX OBS file while Ephemeris File refers to the RINEX NAV file.
2.RINEX Headers buttons to appear allowing you to supply additional information that appears in the header records of the RINEX output files (for example, Company Name, Marker Name and Marker Number).
For best results, the NovAtel receiver input data file should contain the logs as in Table 6, NovAtel Logs for Rinex Conversion on Page 43.
