General dataflow

Description

• Transfer Part
  Programs for generating files in the Bernese format from RINEX. Furthermore, this part also contains a set of tools to cut/concatenate and to manipulate RINEX files.
  
  
• Conversion Part
  Programs to extract external information necessary for the processing from international to Bernese specific formats
  (e.g., coordinates and velocities from ITRF in SINEX format, ANTEX, Bias SINEX).
  
  
• Orbit Part
  Programs for generation of a source-independent orbit representation (standard orbits), to update orbits, generate orbits in precise orbit format, compare orbits, etc.
  The Earth orientation related tools are included in this part too.
  
  
• Processing Part
  Programs for receiver clock synchronization, code and phase pre-processing, ambiguity resolution, parameter estimation based on GNSS observations (program GPSEST) and on the superposition of normal equations (program ADDNEQ2).
  
  
• Simulation Part
  Program to generate simulated GNSS observations (code and/or phase, one or two frequencies) based on statistical information (RMS for observations, biases, cycle slips).
  
  
• Service Part
  A collection of useful tools to edit/browse/manipulate binary data files, compare coordinate sets, display residuals, etc. A set of programs to convert binary files to ASCII and vice versa belong to the service part, too.
