rinexpvt Positioning Application

edit

Description

This application generates a user position based on RINEX observation data with the option of including navigation and meteorological data to aid error correction.

Command Summary

Required Arguments:

Short Arg.	Long Arg.	Description
-o	--obs-file=<arg>	RINEX observation file.

Optional Arguments:

Short Arg.	Long Arg.	Description
-d	--debug	Increase debug level.
-v	--verbose	Increase verbosity.
-h	--help	Print help usage.
-n	--nav-file=<arg>	RINEX navigation file. Required for single frequency ionosphere correction.
-p	--pe-file=<arg>	SP3 Precise Ephemeris File. Repeat this for each input file.
-m	--met-file=<arg>	RINEX meteorological file.
-t	--time-format=<TIME>	Alternate time format string.
-e	--enu=<arg>	Use the following as origin to solve for East/North/Up coordinates, formatted as a string: "X,Y,Z".
-l	--elevation-mask=<arg>	Elevation mask (degrees).
-g	--logfile=<arg>	Write logfile to this file.
-r	--rate=<arg>	Observation interval (default = 30 seconds or RINEX header specification).
-y	-yuma=<arg>	Yuma almanac file.
-a	-sem=<arg>	SEM almanac file.
-s	--single-frequency	Use only C1 (SPS).
-f	--dual-frequency	use only P1 and P2 (PPS).
-i	--no-ionosphere	Do NOT correct for ionosphere delay.
-x	--no-closest-ephemeris	Allow ephemeris use outside of fit interval.
-c	--no-carrier-smoothing	Do NOT use carrier phase smoothing.
-z	--no-glonass	Exclude GLONASS satellites from PVT solution.

Notes

Though not stated in the required options lists, either a RINEX navigation file or an SP3 Precise Ephemeris File is needed, using the -n or -p option respectively. When using precise ephemeris, three files must be included: the previous day, the current day and the next day.

Although -z argument appears as optional, in this release, it is always turned on, but implementation will occur in a later release.
