RTKLIB Quick Guide

RTKLIB is a program that can receive raw GPS measurement data in real time and perform position fixing, or it can record raw data for later post processing. It includes applications for real-time positioning (rtknavi), converting raw data to RINEX format (rtkconv), post-processing RINEX data (rtkpost), and plotting positioning results (rtkplot). The document provides instructions for setting up and using each of the RTKLIB applications.

rtknavi.exe
Can receive raw measurement data and perform position fix in real time, or record raw measurement data
for later post processing by rtkpost.exe
1 2 3

1. Input Streams
Select data source

(a) For stand-alone positioning, select Rover.


For RTK or DGPS positioning, also select Base Station.
(b) Opt: Select suitable Port and Bitrate (baud rate).

(c) Format pull-down menu select SkyTraq

2. Output Streams
For recording result of real-time position fix

3. Log Streams
For recording raw measurement data for later post-processing by rtkpost.exe
4. Options
For setting up related parameters.

(a) Static positioning example:

(b) non-stationary positioning example:


Change Positioning Mode to Kinematic. Good to consider setting Integer Ambiguity Res (GPS/GLO) to Fix
and Hold in order to have higher availability for fixed solution when in motion.

If doing RTK positioning, need to enter base station coordinate, more accurate the better.
Other parameters use default values.

After setting up parameters, click start to begin navigation or record data。


rtkconv.exe
Covert pre-recorded raw measurement data into RINEX format.

Source file location

Output file location Select SkyTraq format

Output file format,


usually just need .obs
& .nav files

Version of RINEX to convert

Select GPS satellite system


for conversion, observables
(C for pseudo-range, L for
carrier phase, D for Doppler,
S for signal strength), L1
band

After setting up, click “Convert” to convert raw measurement data to RINEX format. When done, can click
“Process” button to go to rtkpost.exe for follow up processing。
rtkpost.exe
For post-processing the RINEX data

Select matching .obs & .nav files.


Set the Options setting similar to what’s done for rtknavi.exe，when done click “Execute” to generate .pos
output，which is navigation result。 Afterwards can click “Plot” to run rtkplot.exe to draw the result。

rtkplot.exe
For plotting navigation result
File->open solution 1，select output recorded by rtknavi.exe, or .pos output generated by rtkpost.exe to
plot。
