I have been trying to make a way to save frequently used settings in rinex2snr and gnssir,
especially the snr ending, and to a lesser extent, the samplerate.
I do not want to make a brand new file, so I have added them to them gnssir json
(created by gnssir_input). So if you are going to be downloading and translating RINEX 3
files regularly, you should consider this. The relevant settings are in the gnssir_input documentation
(samplerate, stream, dec, and snr). I would not set snr unless you are using the non-default
values (88 or 50 are the most common).
When you analyze data from a lot of different sites, you might have set up scripts that
save all this information. I no longer do this - so I do like to save the information so
I don't have to remember if it is R or S (for streaming), or samplerate, or whether a site
should be decimated. It does not save the archive name or the nine character station name, which
are also useful bits of information when running rinex2snr. Someone else feel
free to add these to gnssir_input.py and rinex2snr.
If you are going to do this it does mean the json needs to be created before using rinex2snr.
And that is a bit illogical. But if you are a frequent user, you will alreayd have a json and
it will save you time. And it should not complain if it cannot find the json.
