RINEX

Parser and write for RINEX, SP3 and SINEX data. All these formats are open source solutions to answer the requirements of GNSS navigation.

Advantages 🚀

• Fast
• Open sources: read and access all the code!
• All modern GNSS constellations, codes and signals
  • Surveying with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS
• Time scales: GPST, QZSST, BDT, GST, UTC, TAI
• RINEX V4 full support
• Efficient seamless compression and decompression
• Most RINEX formats supported (see following table)
• High Precision Clock RINEX products (for PPP)
• High Precision Orbital SP3 for PPP
• DORIS (special RINEX)
• Many pre-processing algorithms including Filter Designer
• Several file operations: merging, splitting, time binning (batch)

Warnings ⚠️

• The BINEX parser does not support all frames yet
• Navigation is currently not feasible with Glonass and IRNSS
• Differential navigation (SBAS, DGNSS or RTK) is not support yet
• Our applications do not accept proprietary formats like Septentrio for example
• File production might lack some features, mostly because we're currently focused on data processing

Repository

• rinex is the core library
• tutorials is a superset of scripts (Linux/MacOS compatible) to get started quickly. The examples span pretty much everything our applications allow.
• sp3 High Precision Orbits (by IGS)
• binex BINEX Encoding and Decoding library
• sinex SNX dedicated core library
• tools are utility scripts and development tools

This repository now only hosts parser libraries: previous applications have been moved to the RTK-rs workspace.

Formats & revisions

The parser supports RINEX V4.0, that includes RINEX V4 Navigation files.
We support the latest revisions for both IONEX and Clock RINEX.
We support the latest (rev D) SP3 format.
