STFProc - Processing of STF based information
Introduction xxx
The SBF format for GNSS receivers from Septentr
io contain different SBF (Septentrio Binary Format) blocks. Each SBF block contains related GNSS information and can be converted to a readable STF (Septentrio Text Format) file using the sbf2stf program.
The STF blocks in a SBF file can be obtained by running:
$ sbf2stf -f <sbf-file-name>and results in a file similar to:

*********************************For getting one or more of these STF blocks, please execute:
$ sbf2stf -hThis stfproc repository currently processes for following STF blocks:
stfgeodetic.py- processing of PVTGeodetic (v2) = Position, velocity, and time in geodetic coordinates
stfrxstatus.py- processing of ReceiverStatus (v2) = Overall status information of the receiver
Script stfgeodetic.py
The script stfgeodetic.py reads the PVTGeodetic v2 STF file into a python DataFrame and
- calculates from the geodetic coordinates the
UTMprojection coordinates - adds a
DateTimestructure.
The script plots the UTM coordinates (versus time and scatter plot), determines what navigation services have been used and whether 2D/3D positioning is used. This is reflected in the plots created.
Getting help
$ stfgeodetic.py -h
usage: stfgeodetic.py [-h] [-d DIR] -f FILES -g GNSS [-m MARKER MARKER MARKER]
[-l {CRITICAL,ERROR,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG,NOTSET} {CRITICAL,ERROR,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG,NOTSET}]
stfgeodetic.py reads in a sbf2stf converted SBF Geodetic-v2 file and make UTM
plots
