Complete data check

To get the full available checks via data input, one has to use the -chk option, to make sure that the output data are formally correct. If you are sure that your input files are correct, and you want to do some data manipulation only, you can omit this command line parameter to speed up the work.

RAM utilisation

Please keep in mind that compared to other tools, working on a single epoch level, gfzrnx stores the whole RINEX data set in the computer's memory before output. This leads to some performance degradation but offers complete data handling opportunities.

Standard RINEX output version

The standard output format of gfzrnx is at the moment the latest supported version of major version RINEX-3 (e.g. 3.05).

RINEX-4 support

The major version RINEX-4 is supported. Use the -vo 4 command line parameter to force the RINEX-4 file output.
