Abstract

GFZRNX is a software toolbox for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data provided in the REceiver Independent EXchange format (RINEX) of the major versions 2, 3, and 4.

The following RINEX data types are supported:
- Observation data
- Navigation data
- Meteorological data

The following global and regional satellite systems are supported:
GPS - Global Positioning System (USA)
GLONASS - GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (RUS)
BEIDOU - Chinese Global and Regional Navigation Satellite System (CHN)
GALILEO - European Global Navigation Satellite System
IRNSS - Indian Regional Naviagation Satellite System (IND)
QZSS - Quasi Zenith Satellite System (JAP)

The following operations/tasks are supported:
- RINEX data check and repair
- RINEX data format conversion ( version 3 to 2 and vice versa )
- RINEX data splice
- RINEX data split
- RINEX data statistics generation
- RINEX data manipulations like: (1) data sampling, (2) observation types selection, (3) satellite systems selection, (4) elimination of overall empty or sparse observation types
- Automatic version dependent file naming on output data
- RINEX data header editing
- RINEX data meta data extraction
- RINEX data comparison


The following operating systems are supported:
- Microsoft Windows (64)
- Microsoft Windows (32)
- Apple MacOS (i86-64)
