Converting from HCN to RINEX
CHC receivers encapsulate native formats (Trimble DAT) in .HCN files. The CGORinex.exe
tool will quickly convert from HCN to RINEX files for you.
Run the CGORinex tool:
Click on the ‘File Open’ icon (shortcut Control-O, menu ‘File: Open’). Browse for the .HCN
files you want to convert (you can highlight more than one file at a time):
Click OK.
