About Bernese CRD Files

CRD (Coordinate) files are generated by the Bernese GNSS Software. They contain station coordinates in the format specified in the Bernese 5.2 manual, section 24.7.1 "Station Coordinates".

CRD files have the following characteristics:

  • No uncertainty information
  • No weight information
  • Contains a flag field
  • Contains an epoch timestamp in the header

Options

Option Type Required Default Description
filename string Yes - Path to the CRD file to read
discard_flags list[string] No [] List of flags to discard from the data. A for constrained, W for weighted.
sx float No 0.0 Standard deviation in X direction
sy float No 0.0 Standard deviation in Y direction
sz float No 0.0 Standard deviation in Z direction
w float No 1.0 Weight for all coordinates
t float No - Timestamp in decimal years

Filtering by Flags

CRD files contain flags (typically "A" or "W") indicating whether stations are constrained or weighted. To exclude certain flags:

- name: bernese_data
  type: bernese_crd
  filename: data.crd
  discard_flags: [W]

This discards all coordinates with the "W" flag.
