RNX2RTKP(1)

💖 RNX2RTKP(1) — the general commands manual, but make it a vibe 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we're about to talk about rnx2rtkp 💅 this one lives in section 1 of the general commands manual, and she is that girl for turning your message logs into actual positions. no cap. 🛰️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rnx2rtkp — read message log files and computer receiver positions 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rnx2rtkp [option ...] file file [...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the whole situation, bestie. rnx2rtkp reads RINEX OBS/NAV/GNAV/HNAV/CLK, SP3, and SBAS message log files, computes receiver (rover) positions, and spits out position solutions. main character energy fr fr. 👑

The tea on the input files:

• The first RINEX OBS file has to contain the receiver (rover) observations. that's the whole point, like—
• If you're in relative mode, the second RINEX OBS file has to contain the reference (base station) receiver observations.
• You need at least one RINEX NAV/GNAV/HNAV file in your input files. not optional, bestie. 🙈
• Wanna use SP3 precise ephemeris? just specify the path in the files. The extension of the SP3 file shall be .sp3 or .eph. ikyk.
• All of the input file paths can include wild-cards (*). The way that wild-cards get eaten by the command line... 😭 to avoid command line deployment of wild-cards, use "..." for paths with wild-cards. protect them at all costs.

Command line options are as follows, and the stuff in [] is the default, so like, that's what you get if you don't say anything. 💖

With the -k option, the processing options are input from the configuration file. In this case, command line options precede options in the configuration file. so the CLI wins, periodt. ✨

okay that's the whole page, you ate that. 💅✨ this was the RNX2RTKP(1) page from July 29 2016, so yeah, she's been iconic since 2016 and she's still serving. go get those positions bestie, ily 🫶💖
