Novatel GNSS Receiver and Antenna SMART-AG ユーザーズマニュアル

The Convert4 utility can be used to produce RINEX files from NovAtel receiver data files.

Although RINEX is intended to be a receiver-independent format, there are many optional 
records and fields. Please keep this in mind when combining NovAtel and non-NovAtel 
RINEX data.

When converting to RINEX, two files are produced - a RINEX observation file and a RINEX 
navigation file. A third GLONASS file is produced if the data contains GLONASS observations. The 
default names of these files conform to the RINEX Version 2.10 recommended naming convention of 
ssssdddf.yyt, where:

ssss

4 character station name - Convert4 uses the first four characters of the <infile> 
parameter as the station ID

ddd

day of year

f

file sequence number within the day - Convert4 sets this to zero

t

file type: o for the observation and n for the navigation file

Selecting the RINEX field, see Figure 6, Convert Screen Examples on Page 41, in the Convert To 
section causes the:

1. Destination File: field to be replaced by the Observation File: and Ephemeris File: fields. Note 

that Observation File refers to the RINEX OBS file while Ephemeris File refers to the RINEX 
NAV file.

2. RINEX Headers buttons to appear allowing you to supply additional information that appears in 

the header records of the RINEX output files (for example, Company Name, Marker Name and 
Marker Number).

For best results, the NovAtel receiver input data file should contain the logs as in Table 6, NovAtel 
Logs for Rinex Conversion on Page 43.
