Pathfinder Office - RINEX V3 support?

  • 1.  Pathfinder Office - RINEX V3 support?

    Posted 06-25-2022 22:23
    It would be appreciated if someone from Trimble could confirm if PFO V5.90 supports RINEX V3.04 correction files?

    And if not, the suggested method to deal with them.

    I'm asking here as I'm unable to locate a definitive statement anywhere.

    Thanks

    Hi John

    Pathfinder Office does not support RINEX v3.xx and will not in future
    Here are a few options for you:

    1. Request your base data provider supply the RINEX v2.11 base files
    2. Use the RINEX Convertor tool here to convert your RINEX v3.xx files into RINEX v2.11 for use in PFO
    3. If you are an ESRI ArcMAP customer consider migrating to Trimble Positions desktop - this supports RINEX v3.xx and fulfils most if not all of the functions you use PFO for. Contact your local Trimble reseller for information on this and migration incentives

    Thanks Tom,

    The definitive confirmation helps, our national agency Geoscience Australia is unfortunately now only providing V3.04 and I'm not an ArcMap user.

    The Rinex Converter looks good and will convert a V3.04 Obs file OK, but will not recognize or convert V3.04 Nav files. Is this is by design?

    Hi John

    You should be able to use CDDIS to download the daily GPS/GLONASS broadcast ephemeris.
    • If you rename the file to match your obs then this should work 
    • The ephemeris will be compressed so you'll need to extract the file(s) with 7zip or similar
    The wider community may have some other resources they can point you to here so I'll leave this thread open
