How to convert RINEX3 to RINEX2?

Legacy GNSS software may require GNSS measurements in old RINEX2 format while modern CORS networks usually provide data in RINEX3 or even RINEX4 format. KernelSAT RTOOLS service may help to accurately convert RINEX3 or RINEX4 into legacy RINEX2 both raw measurements and navigation data (ephemeris).

How to merge / combine RINEX files?

Sometimes, one may have in hands set of RINEX observables files (say 1h files) while one single "composite" file is needed. The article describes in details how to do it w/ help of RINEX Tools service.

How to check RTCM3 Network RTK (VRS) by WAY?

Network RTK (VRS, MAC or FKP) may provide better RTK performance (accuracy, reliability, TTFF) being compared to single physical station. Sometimes it is needed to check that coming corrections are actually from Network RTK engine, get idea where the nearest physical station is.

How WAY service may help in RTCM3 corrections analysis and RTK rover troubleshooting?

Why RTK rover can't get FIX or it is too long and unstable? RTCM3 corrections coming from base is one of the key factors to be checked. WAY service can decode and analyze RTCM3 corrections. Besides standard statistic information about detected messages, tracked GNSS / SVs / Signals on base, WAY may warn you about obvious issues w/ corrections. Like absent of base position or base ID change or to low SNR on base.

GNSS data quick decoding & analysis w/ help of WAY service

Quite often one may need to get quick statistic of GNSS data file - what format / protocol is it? What messages are inside? How many w/ bad / good CRC? What is the average position (just to be aware where the file was collected) etc.
