4.2 RINEX Observation Files<br />

• “Receiver/antenna number”: The entry for the REC # and ANT # in the RINEX observation<br />

file is compared with the corresponding values in the section TYPE 002: STATION<br />

INFORMATION in the station information file.<br />

• “Antenna position”: The entry for the ANTENNA: DELTA H/E/N in the RINEX observation<br />

file is compared with the values for NORTH,EAST and UP in the station information<br />

file (section TYPE 002: STATION INFORMATION).<br />

• “Marker type”: The (optional) entry for the MARKER TYPE in the RINEX observation<br />

file is compared with the corresponding value in the station information file (section<br />

TYPE 005: HANDLING STATION TYPES). This option is, e.g., useful for verifying the<br />

RINEX headers from spaceborne receivers.<br />

If no or a different entry is found in the appropriate time window the program takes the<br />

action specified by the user. The recommended selection is WARNING for manual processing<br />

and SKIP for a robust automated processing.<br />

It is important to know that, if an inconsistency is encountered and the corresponding option<br />

is set to NO CHECK or WARNING the program uses the value found in the station information<br />

file starting from the assumption that the entry in the RINEX header is erroneous. In any<br />

case, check the warnings issued by the program. The program output contains a compact<br />

summary on station naming and station information. Lines containing problems are labeled<br />

with a string “#Problem”, the other lines are labeled with “#OK”.<br />

If for a particular station a certain inconsistency regularly appears (e.g., misspelled receiver<br />

name or wrong antenna height in RINEX file) you may suppress the corresponding<br />

warning or error message by adding a line to a station problem file (see description in Section<br />

22.8.4). If you specify the name of this file in the field “Accepted station information” in<br />

panel “RXOBV3 5.2: Check Content of RINEX Header 2”, the program compares RINEX entries<br />

not only with the content of the station information file but also with the entries in this<br />

file. In any case the values from the station information file will be used. See the on-line<br />

help for further information.<br />

Note, if the option “Consider radome code of the antennas” is enabled, a blank antenna radome<br />

code gets automatically replaced by NONE before the antenna type is compared with the<br />

entries in the station information file.<br />

The options in the last panel “RXOBV3 5.2: Check Content of RINEX Header 2” may be used<br />

to perform additional verifications on station names in order to monitor the consistency of<br />

the information from the RINEX file headers. If a verification fails the corresponding line<br />

in the information summary provided in the program output will contain a string #Verify.<br />

The failure of a verification step has no effect on the execution of the program.<br />

• “Verify station name/number using”: Enable this option if you want to verify the (new)<br />

station name with respect to the station name given in the header of the RINEX<br />

observation file. The station name may be compared to the<br />

– MARKER NAME: The MARKER NAME entry of the RINEX observation file.<br />

– MARKER NUMBER: The MARKER NUMBER entry of the RINEX observation file.<br />

– MARKER DOMES: The MARKER NAME and the MARKER NUMBER entry of the RINEX<br />

observation file is combined to get a station name according to IGS conventions.<br />
