**NB: RINEX conversion is currently an experimental facility based on the [pygnssutils pyrinexconv CLI utility](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils#rinexconvert). See [pygnssutils release notes](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/releases/tag/v1.2.1) for details of current functionality and limitations**. The intention is to enhance functionality in future releases.

1. A previously-saved binary datalog containing raw observation, navigation and/or meteorology data e.g. UBX RXM-RAWX and RXM-SFRBX¹ messages or RTCM3 ephemerides (1019, 1020, 1041-1046) messages. A suitable datalog can be recorded using PyGPSClient's [binary datalogging](#datalog) facility. **NB**: The file should contain at least 15-30 minutes of continuous data.
