I've only ever worked with Trimble GPS gear and today received a bunch of data collected with Leica receivers. In the directory I see I00, .M00, .X01, .X02, .X06, .X08, .X12, .X14, .X18, .X22, .X23, and .XCF files. I used TEQC to convert the M00 to rinex, but am wondering what the other files are.. can someone enlighten me?
Thank you.
I am not sure about this, but it seems someone once mentioned these files are part of the software and proprietary in nature.
The Leica native data files come as a directory containing many files rather than as a single file.
Hi,
Are you able to give a brief run down on using TEQC?
I mostly use Trimble but have recently needed to do some Static Obs with a Leica 1200. I wanted to load these up to Auspos (our static obs processing is done through that down here in Australia) and ofcourse I need to upload RINEX. Unlike good old faithful Trimble, Leica do not provide a RINEX conversion utility and I dont want to buy LGO! I have heard that TEQC will do the job, but it looks like its dos based and not sure where to start. cheers.
Ah, seems we are in the same boat on different dies of the planet! I am learning myself so maybe not the best at offering advice.. but maybe can show me if I'm doing something incorrectly.
This is how I always work, and assuming you are in Windows, download the latest TEQC and save the teqc.exe into a directory on your C: such as C:teqc
Save the .m00 files to that same location.
Open a DOS command prompt and navigate to that directory.
Type the following into the DOS command:
teqc +nav output.14n input.m00 > output.14o
Where input is the actual file name of your m00 file and output is what you want to save. This will generate both your observation (.14o) and navigation (.14n) rinex files.
Good luck.
Hardline,
The Leica DBX database is made up of several files. Depending on what applications you use in SmartWorx you may have different combinations of the available files that make up the DBX. The database cannot be edited. This is a good thing because it always is raw data. If the user wants to export to say a FBK, RW5, RAW, RWD, etc. you can and then you can manipulate your data if that is your desire so that it is no longer raw data. The DBX records many values for each recorded measurement both TPS and GPS. The DBX is not just angles distance and coordinates. There is a ton of extra information recorded that can be extracted.
The file extension explanation is as follows:
Please let me know if you need more information.
Nice list, but do you know details of m00 raw file? I've stuck on the read of that file (writing app for creating RTK reports from various files like RW5, XML (Leica), JXL (Trimble), TSJMJF (Topcon)).
kind regards

The m00 file is raw GNSS data and does not contain RTK vectors.
RTK vectors can be calculated from base coordinates so raw data with position and errors and other data (ant height, PDOPs) should be good.
But what I know, leica DBX format (used in above files) is closed, and there is no official published specification for that format. Leica support don't want to send this data to developers.
Skyraster,
I have no information on a reader/converter for the GPS raw data contained in the .m00 file
