rinex-cli is a command line tool to post process RINEX and SP3 files.
Because RINEX and SP3 cover many applications, rinex-cli can be used for many applications.
The most important being:
- File management
- patching & reworking (for example: zero repair)
- splitting: create a batch of files
- transposing: to a single timescale, into a batch of timescales
- reformat: export to CSV
- Analysis
- generate high level reports
- Synthesis
- generate RINEX (and soon SP3) from provided products
- Post processed navigation (
pppmode) because it integrates a complete PVT solver (onpppfeature only) - CGGTTS solutions solver (
ppp --cggttsmode) by combining thepppandcggttsoptions
Static surveying of a geodetic marker:
Errors from the geodetic marker (CPP, Galileo E1+E5)
`PPP` solver applied to a roaming session (pedestrian profile) around station `NYA100NOR`
REFSYS resolved from PPP+CGGTTS (CPP, Galileo E1+E5)
You can download the latest version from the release portal.
Two version of the toolbox are automatically released:
- the smallest is published under the name
rinex-cliand is only compatible with file management - the heaviest allows all features, including the NAV PVT Solver and NAV CGGTTS solutions solver, and is published
under the name
rinex-cli-ppp
You can directly install the tool from Cargo with internet access:
cargo install rinex-cliDownload the version you are interested in:
git clone https://github.com/rtk-rs/rinex-cliIf you're interested in running one of the demos, you should enable all features and should download our example data set:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rtk-rs/rinex-cliTo install in the default location, in this example activating all features, you should run this:
cargo install --all-features --path .
rinex-cli --version
which rinex-cli
${HOME}/.cargo/bin/rinex-clirinex-cli supports
- all formats & revisions supported by the RINEX parser
- all revisions supported by the SP3 parser

➖ No restrictions: file names do not have to follow naming conventions.
Once you have installed the tool, read the first few steps:
- File loading interface: learn how to load data into the toolbox
- The Preprocessor documentation will teach you how design a filter and deploy up to complex processing pipelines
- The Input / Output page summarizes the output you can generate, based on your input products
Then, continue your learning journey with:
-
mergemode: to merge RINEX files together, which is particularly useful in Data production context & files management -
splitmode: divide/split your input products at a specific point in time (Epoch) -
tbin(time) binning mode create a batch (file series) of RINEX of equal duration -
cbin(Constellation /Timescale) binning mode to split Multi-GNSS RINEX into individual Constellations, with possible Timescale re-expression -
diffmode: create a special RINEX=RINEX(A)-RINEX(B) by substracting two observation RINEX files together, per frequency and signal modulations -
filegenmode: generate output products (RINEX, SP3, CSV..) after a possible preprocessing pipeline. Use this to either reformat RINEX or perform a RINEX to CSV conversion.
Dive into the world of precise navigation:
pppopmode introduction: resolve PVT solutionspppwith special--cggttsoption: resolve CGGTTS solutions
Many examples are provided for each mode individually.
Our Demo folder hosts many illustrations and high level applications
csv: unlock CSV export (default)ppp: unlock P.V.T. solver (not available by default, because it is heavy)ppp+cggtts: unlock CGGTTS solver (not available by default, because it is heavy)
These tools would not exist without the great libraries written by C. Rabotin, check out his work.
Some features would not exist without the invaluable help of J. Lesouple, through our countless discussions. Check out his PhD manuscript (french)
