RINEX-Cli

rinex-cli is a command line tool to post process RINEX + SP3 data.

Since RINEX and SP3 cover many applications, so does rinex-cli. You can use this toolbox for

• Analysis and high level report synthesis
• Data patching and fixing
• Data synthesis (RINEX, CSV)
• Post processed navigation and PVT solutions solving
• High precision PVT solutions solving
• Timing solutions solving

Download the tool

You can download the latest version from the release portal

Install from Cargo

You can directly install the tool from Cargo with internet access:

cargo install rinex-cli

Build from sources

Download the version you are interested in:

git clone https://github.com/rtk-rs/rinex-cli

If you're interested in running one of the demos, you will need the data submodule:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rtk-rs/rinex-cli

This will build and install the stripped binary to ${HOME}/.cargo/bin, which is usally defined in the ${PATH}. Because our examples span all applications, you should activate --all-features:

cargo install --all-features --path .

rinex-cli --version

which rinex-cli
${HOME}/.cargo/bin/rinex-cli

File formats & revisions

rinex-cli supports

• all formats & revisions supported by the RINEX parser
• all revisions supported by the SP3 parser

Documentation

⚠️ All our examples and demos are expected to be execute at the base of this repo.

Once you have installed the tool, read the first few steps:

• File loading interface: learn how to load data into the toolbox
• The Preprocessor documentation will teach you how design a filter and deploy up to complex processing pipelines
• The Input / Output page summarizes the output you can generate, based on your input products

Then, continue your learning journey with:

• merge mode: to merge RINEX files together, which is particularly useful in Data production context & files management

• split mode: demonstrates how to split one RINEX file into two

• tbin mode: allows creating a batch of RINEX from a single one (basically, dividing into sub-parts)

• diff mode: to create a special RINEX by substracting one from the other

• filegen mode to generate text data, whether it is RINEX, SP3 or CSV. Patch data using the preprocessor. Perform RINEX to CSV export etc..

Dive into the world of precise navigation:

• Introduction to the PPP (Post Processed Positioning) opmode
• PPP with special +cggtts option
• Many examples are provided, spanning many applications

Demos

• Zero Repair (-z) to obtain valid PVT solutions
• Apriori knowledge and PVT solution solving
• RINEX to CSV export

Special Thanks

These tools would not exist without the great libraries written by C. Rabotin, check out his work.

Some features would not exist without the invaluable help of J. Lesouple, through our countless discussions. Check out his PhD manuscript (french)
