9. How post processing works
Collect
GNSS
observations
Download
RINEX from
nearest base
station
Process
observations
against
RINEX in
Zeno Office
Resultant
feature
vertices are
updated to
new
positions

10. What FME can do with Zeno:
• Download relevant RINEX files
• Read in Esri Geodatabase (.gdb)
Watch DropBox and notify you
• Automatically start processing data
• Produce reports on accuracy
• Output data in different formats

12. Post-Processing in Zeno
Office
• Need relevant RINEX
file(s)
• One for every day,
every hour
• Available through FTP

13. Work out the time and GPS day

14. Find the nearest base station

15. Download RINEX files from FTP

16. Unzip and move
