Ashtech Promark 2 Issue
Dear friends,
Please how to use teqc to convert raw data from Ashtech promark 2 to Rinex format.
I noticed that the current date must be week number of the receiver + 1024 to get the correct date.
I was also able to correct the date of the Rinex observation file using notepad only but not the navigation one.
Can you tell me how to do it too? Thanks again.
I don’t think teqc does that? You need to process your Ashtech proprietary raw data in Ashtech Solutions or finagle them though its successor, Spectra Precision GNSS Solutions. You might be able convert Promark 2 files directly into the Spectra Precision Rinex convertor, but I think you will have to process them, output them and then convert them. Are you wanting to determine a position or determine baselines? If you just want baseline and height difference data, process them in Ashtech Solutions; the data will not be accurate, but it will be precise.

teqc can, indeed, read Ashtech B, S, E and D files in their native format and convert them to RINEX. (It can read Trimble dat files, too.) See the teqc tutorial for more information.
@jim-frame Cool, that's pretty powerful for open software. I still have my old units (I tell myself they are for backup) so I might need teqc one day.
@jim-frame Thank you.
@jim-frame can you show me a command line please?
You need to use a flag if you're running from the command line. From the tutorial:
For native or receiver specific formats, an option flag may be needed to specify the general type of receiver, and its argument is used to specify the receiver format:
-ash for Ashtech
d -- B/E/S/D download fileset (B-file required)
s -- RS-232 stream format
r -- R-file
u -- U-file (note: -ash u is always required for a U-file)
But why not run WinTEQC instead?
@jim-frame This tool is more useful thanks again.
Hi,
I had the same issue.
The logged data are in different year (instead of 2024, is 2005).
How can I resolve this?
How can I produce and use a rinex file?
Thank you.
