DATA FILES

Files created externally to but necessary for processing


These files include the RINEX files created from the GPS receiver raw data and the precise ephemeris. Generally, these are created before and externally to the run_survey processing.
RINEX observation ("o") files
REQUIRED
LOCATED IN THE yr_doy DIRECTORY OR data SUBDIRECTORY
Data must be converted to RINEX formats outside of run_survey. Multiple "o" files for one session must be concatenated into a single file using cato or a similar program.

RINEX navigation ("n") files
REQUIRED
LOCATED IN THE yr_doy DIRECTORY OR data SUBDIRECTORY
At least one navigation message file must be available. The "n" file does not necessarily have to come from one of the sites being processed but must cover the same time span as the data.

precise ephemeris
OPTIONAL
LOCATED IN THE yr_doy DIRECTORY OR data SUBDIRECTORY
These programs are capable of using either precise or broadcast ephemerides. Several ephemeris formats are recognized: SP3 (default), SP1, or a binary format used internally within NGS for orbit generation.
