Convert to RINEX

This tutorial shows how to use the Convert to RINEX function in Emlid Studio to convert raw data logs from a receiver to the industry-standard RINEX format. Use Convert to RINEX to ensure processing of the raw data logs in the post-processing services that allow you to produce a more accurate result.

Overview#

With the Convert logs to RINEX feature, Emlid Studio allows converting raw data logs to the industry-standard RINEX format. RINEX is a data interchange format for raw satellite navigation system data that facilitates the management and disposal of the receiver's measurements and their offline processing. Raw data collection is necessary for post-processing services that allow you to produce a more accurate result.

The advantage of the RINEX format is that it is designed to evolve and adapt to new types of measurements and new satellite navigation systems.
