pygnssutils is an original series of GNSS CLI utilities and Python classes built around the following core libraries from the same stable:
1. [pyubx2](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2) - UBX parsing and generation library, which in turn utilises:
1. [pynmeagps](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pynmeagps) - NMEA parsing and generation library
1. [pyrtcm](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyrtcm) - RTCM3 parsing library
1. [pyspartn](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyspartn) - SPARTN parsing library
Originally developed in support of the [PyGPSClient](https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient) GUI GNSS application, the utilities provided by pygnssutils can also be used in their own right:
1. `GNSSStreamer` class and its associated [`gnssdump`](#gnssdump) CLI utility. This is essentially a configurable input/output wrapper around the [`pyubx2.UBXReader`](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2#reading) class with flexible message formatting and filtering options for NMEA, UBX and RTCM3 protocols.
1. `GNSSSocketServer` class and its associated [`gnssserver`](#gnssserver) CLI utility. This implements a TCP Socket Server for GNSS data streams which is also capable of being run as a simple NTRIP Server.
1. `GNSSNTRIPClient` class and its associated [`gnssntripclient`](#gnssntripclient) CLI utility. This implements
a simple NTRIP Client which receives RTCM3 or SPARTN correction data from an NTRIP Server and (optionally) sends this to a
designated output stream.
1. `GNSSMQTTClient` class and its associated [`gnssmqttclient`](#gnssmqttclient) CLI utility. This implements
a simple SPARTN IP (MQTT) Client which receives SPARTN correction data from an SPARTN IP location service sends this to a
designated output stream.
1. [`ubxsimulator`](#ubxsimulator) utility. This provides a simple simulation of a GNSS receiver serial stream by generating synthetic UBX or NMEA messages based on parameters defined in a json configuration file.
1. [`ubxsave`](#ubxsave) CLI utility. This saves a complete set of configuration data from any Generation 9+ u-blox device (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P) to a file. The file can then be reloaded to any compatible device using the `ubxload` utility.
1. [`ubxload`](#ubxload) CLI utility. This reads a file containing binary configuration data and loads it into any compatible Generation 9+ u-blox device (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P).
1. [`ubxsetrate`](#ubxsetrate) CLI utility. A simple utility which sets NMEA or UBX message rates on u-blox GNSS receivers.

## <a name="installation">Installation</a>
[](https://pypi.org/project/pygnssutils/)
`pygnssutils` is compatible with Python >=3.8. It is recommended that the Python 3 scripts (bin) folder is in your PATH.
In the following, `python3` & `pip` refer to the Python 3 executables. You may need to type
`python` or `pip3`, depending on your particular environment.
The recommended way to install the latest version of `pygnssutils` is with
[pip](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/):
```shell
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pygnssutils
```
If required, `pygnssutils` can also be installed into a virtual environment, e.g.:
```shell
python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate (or env\Scripts\activate on Windows)
(env) python3 -m pip install --upgrade pygnssutils
...
deactivate
```
For [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) users, `pygnssutils` is also available from [conda forge](https://github.com/conda-forge/pygnssutils-feedstock):
[](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pygnssutils)
[](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pygnssutils)
```shell
conda install -c conda-forge pygnssutils
```
---
## <a name="gnssdump">GNSSStreamer and gnssdump CLI</a>
```
class pygnssutils.gnssdump.GNSSStreamer(**kwargs)
```
`GNSSStreamer` is essentially a configurable input/output wrapper around the [`pyubx2.UBXReader`](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2#reading) class. It supports a variety of input streams (including serial, file and socket) and outputs either to stdout (terminal), to an output file or to a custom output handler. The custom output handler can be a writeable output medium (serial, file, socket or queue) or an evaluable Python expression (e.g. lambda function).
The utility can output data in a variety of formats; parsed (1), raw binary (2), hexadecimal string (4), tabulated hexadecimal (8), parsed as string (16), JSON (32), or any combination thereof. You could, for example, output the parsed version of a UBX message alongside its tabular hexadecimal representation.
Any one of the following data stream specifiers must be provided:
- `port`: serial port e.g. `COM3` or `/dev/ttyACM1`
- `filename`: fully qualified path to binary input file e.g. `/logs/logfile.bin`
- `socket`: socket e.g. `192.168.0.72:50007` (port must be specified)
- `stream`: any other instance of a stream class which implements a read(n) -> bytes method
For help and full list of optional arguments, type:
```shell
> gnssdump -h
```
Refer to the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.gnssdump) for further details.
### CLI Usage:
Assuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:
Serial input example (with simple external output handler):
```shell
> gnssdump --port /dev/ttyACM1 --baudrate 9600 --timeout 5 --quitonerror 1 --protfilter 2 --msgfilter NAV-PVT --outputhandler "lambda msg: print(f'lat: {msg.lat}, lon: {msg.lon}')"

lat: 51.352155, lon: -2.130751
```
File input example (in parsed and tabulated hexadecimal formats):
```shell

```
Output file example (this filters unwanted UBX config & debug messages from a u-center .ubx file):
```shell
> gnssdump --filename COM6__9600_220623_093412.ubx --protfilter 1 --format 2 --verbosity 0 --outfile COM6__9600_220623_093412_filtered.ubx
```
## <a name="gnssserver">GNSSSocketServer and gnssserver CLI</a>
```
class pygnssutils.gnssserver.GNSSSocketServer(**kwargs)
```
`GNSSSocketServer` is essentially a wrapper around the `GNSSStreamer` and `SocketServer` classes (the latter based on the native Python `ThreadingTCPServer` framework) which uses queues to transport data between the two classes.
### CLI Usage - Default Mode:
In its default configuration (`ntripmode=0`) `gnssserver` acts as an open, unauthenticated CLI TCP socket server, reading the binary data stream from a host-connected GNSS receiver and broadcasting the data to any local or remote TCP socket client capable of parsing binary GNSS data.
It supports most of `gnssdump`'s formatting capabilities and could be configured to output a variety of non-binary formats (including, for example, JSON or hexadecimal), but the client software would need to be capable of parsing data in such formats.
Assuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:
```shell
> gnssserver --inport "/dev/tty.usbmodem14301" --baudrate 115200 --hostip 192.168.0.20 --outport 6000
Starting server (type CTRL-C to stop)...
Starting input thread, reading from /dev/tty.usbmodem141301...
Parsing GNSS data stream from: Serial<id=0x1063647f0, open=True>(port='/dev/tty.usbmodem141301', baudrate=115200, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=3, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False)...
Starting output thread, broadcasting on 192.168.0.20:6000...
Client ('192.168.0.56', 59565) has connected. Total clients: 1
Client ('192.168.0.34', 59566) has connected. Total clients: 2
Client ('192.168.0.41', 59567) has connected. Total clients: 3
Client ('192.168.0.56', 59565) has disconnected. Total clients: 2
```
`gnssserver` can be run as a daemon process (or even a service) but note that abrupt termination (i.e. without invoking the internal `server.shutdown()` method) may result in the designated TCP socket port being unavailable for a short period - this is operating system dependant.
For help and full list of optional arguments, type:
```shell
> gnssserver -h
```
Refer to the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.gnssserver) for further details.
### CLI Usage - NTRIP Mode:
`gnssserver` can also be configured to act as a single-mountpoint NTRIP Server/Caster (`ntripmode=1`), broadcasting RTCM3 RTK correction data to any authenticated NTRIP client on the standard 2101 port using the mountpoint name `pygnssutils` (**NB**: to use with standard NTRIP clients, output format must be set to binary (2) - this is the default, so the argument can be omitted):
```shell
> gnssserver --inport "/dev/tty.usbmodem14101" --hostip 192.168.0.20 --outport 2101 --ntripmode 1 --protfilter 4 --format 2 --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword
```
**NOTE THAT** this configuration is predicated on the host-connected receiver being an RTK-capable device (e.g. the u-blox ZED-F9P) operating in 'Base Station' mode (either 'SURVEY_IN' or 'FIXED') and outputting the requisite RTCM3 RTK correction messages (1005, 1077, 1087, 1097, 1127, 1230). NTRIP server login credentials are set via command line arguments or environment variables `PYGPSCLIENT_USER` and `PYGPSCLIENT_PASSWORD`.
### Clients
`gnssserver` will work with any client capable of parsing binary GNSS data from a TCP socket. Suitable clients include, *but are not limited to*:
1) (in default mode) pygnssutils's `gnssdump` cli utility invoked thus:
```shell
> gnssdump --socket hostip:outport
```
2) (in NTRIP mode) Any standard NTRIP client, including BKG's [NTRIP client (BNC)](https://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/download), ublox's [legacy ucenter NTRIP client](https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center), or pygnssutil's `gnssntripclient` cli utility invoked thus:
```shell
> gnssntripclient -S hostip -P 2101 -M pygnssutils --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword
```
3) The [PyGPSClient GUI](https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient?tab=readme-ov-file#ntripconfig) application.
---
## <a name="gnssntripclient">GNSSNTRIPClient and gnssntripclient CLI</a>
```
class pygnssutils.gnssntripclient.GNSSNTRIPClient(app=None, **kwargs)
```
The `GNSSNTRIPClient` class provides a basic NTRIP Client capability and forms the basis of a [`gnssntripclient`](#gnssntripclient) CLI utility. It receives RTCM3 or SPARTN correction data from an NTRIP server and (optionally) sends this to a designated output stream. NTRIP server login credentials are set via command line arguments or environment variables `PYGPSCLIENT_USER` and `PYGPSCLIENT_PASSWORD`.
### CLI Usage:
Assuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:
To retrieve the sourcetable and determine the closest available mountpoint to the reference lat/lon, leave the mountpoint argument blank (the port defaults to 2101):
```shell
> gnssntripclient --server rtk2go.com --datatype RTCM --ggamode 1 --reflat 37.23 --reflon 115.81 --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword
2022-06-03 20:15:54.510294: Closest mountpoint to reference location 37.23,-115.81 = WW6RY, 351.51 km
Complete sourcetable follows...
['AGSSIAAP', 'Acheres', 'RTCM 3.0', '1004(1),1006(13),1012(1),1033(31)', '2', 'GPS+GLO', 'SNIP', 'FRA', '48.97', '2.17', '1', '0', 'sNTRIP', 'none', 'N', 'N', '2540', '']
...
```
To retrieve correction data from a designated mountpoint (this will send NMEA GGA position sentences to the server at intervals of 60 seconds, based on the supplied reference lat/lon):
```shell
> gnssntripclient --server rtk2go.com --ggamode 1 --reflat 37.23 --reflon -115.81 --mountpoint UFOSRUS --ggainterval 60 --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword
2022-06-03 11:55:10.305870: <RTCM(1077, DF002=1077, DF003=0, GNSSEpoch=471328000, DF393=1, ...
```
For help and full list of optional arguments, type:
```shell
> gnssntripclient -h
```
Refer to the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.gnssntripclient) for further details.

## <a name="gnssmqttclient">GNSSMQTTClient and gnssmqttclient CLI</a>
```
class pygnssutils.gnssmqttclient.GNSSMQTTClient(app=None, **kwargs)
```
The `GNSSMQTTClient` class provides a basic SPARTN IP (MQTT) Client capability and forms the basis of a [`gnssmqttclient`](#gnssmqttclient) CLI utility. It receives RTK correction data from a SPARTN IP (MQTT) location service (e.g. the u-blox / Thingstream PointPerfect service) and (optionally) sends this to a designated output stream.
### CLI Usage:
The `clientid` provided by the location service may be set as environment variable `MQTTCLIENTID`. If this environment variable is set and the TLS certificate (\*.crt) and key (\*.pem) files provided by the location service are placed in the user's `HOME` directory, the utility can use these as default settings and may be invoked without any arguments.
Assuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus (press CTRL-C to terminate):
```shell
> gnssmqttclient
2023-02-23 18:40:41.552070: Starting MQTT client with arguments {'server': 'pp.services.u-blox.com', 'port': 8883, 'clientid': '{your-client-id}', 'region': 'eu', 'topic_ip': 1, 'topic_mga': 1, 'topic_key': 1, 'tlscrt': '/Users/{your-user}/device-{your-clientid}-pp-cert.crt', 'tlskey': '/Users/{your-user}/device-{your-client-id}-pp-key.pem'}, output None.

## <a name="ubxsimulator">ubxsimulator utility</a>
### EXPERIMENTAL
Provides a simple simulation of a GNSS serial stream by generating synthetic UBX or NMEA messages based on parameters defined in a json configuration file. Can simulate a motion vector based on a specified course over ground and speed.
Example usage::
```python
from pygnssutils import UBXSimulator
from pyubx2 import UBXReader
with UBXSimulator(configfile="/home/myuser/ubxsimulator.json", interval=1, timeout=3) as stream:
ubr = UBXReader(stream)
for raw, parsed in ubr:
print(parsed)
```
Generates mock acknowledgements (ACK-ACK) for valid incoming UBX commands and polls.
See sample [ubxsimulator.json](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/blob/main/examples/ubxsimulator.json) configuration file in the \examples folder, and the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.ubxsimulator).
**NB:** Principally intended for testing Python GNSS application functionality. There is currently no attempt to simulate real-world satellite geodetics, though this could be done using e.g. the Python [`skyfield`](https://pypi.org/project/skyfield/) library and the relevant satellite [TLE (orbital elements) data](https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/table.php?GROUP=gnss&FORMAT=tle). We may look into adding such functionality as and when time permits. Contributions welcome.

## <a name="ubxsave">ubxsave CLI</a>
*GENERATION 9+ DEVICES ONLY (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P)*
```
class pygnssutils.ubxconfig.UBXSaver(file, stream, **kwargs)
```
CLI utility which saves Generation 9+ UBX device configuration data to a file. `ubxsave` polls configuration data via the device's serial port using a series of CFG-VALGET poll messages. It parses the responses to these polls, converts them to CFG-VALSET command messages and saves these to a binary file. This binary file can then be loaded into any compatible UBX device (e.g. via the `ubxload` utility) to restore the saved configuration.
The CFG-VALSET commands are stored as a single transaction. If one or more fails on reload, the entire set will be rejected.
*NB*: The utility relies on receiving a complete set of poll responses within a specified `waittime`. If the device is exceptionally busy or the transmit buffer is full, poll responses may be delayed or dropped altogether. If the utility reports errors, try increasing the waittime.
### CLI Usage:
```shell
> ubxsave --port /dev/ttyACM1 --baudrate 9600 --timeout 0.02 --outfile ubxconfig.ubx --verbosity 1
```
For help and full list of optional arguments, type:
```shell
> ubxsave -h
```

## <a name="ubxload">ubxload CLI</a>
*GENERATION 9+ DEVICES ONLY (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P)*
```
class pygnssutils.ubxconfig.UBXLoader(file, stream, **kwargs)
```
CLI utility which loads UBX configuration (CFG-VALSET) data from a binary file (e.g. one created by the `ubxsave` utility) and loads it into the volatile memory (RAM) of a compatible Generation 9+ UBX device via its serial port. It then awaits acknowledgements to this data and reports any errors.
### CLI Usage:
```shell
> ubxload --port /dev/ttyACM1 --baudrate 9600 --timeout 0.05 --infile ubxconfig.ubx --verbosity 1
```
For help and full list of optional arguments, type:
```shell
> ubxload -h
```
---
## <a name="ubxsetrate">ubxsetrate CLI</a>
```
class pygnssutils.ubxconfig.UBXSetRate(**kwargs)
```
A simple CLI utility to set NMEA or UBX message rates on u-blox receivers via a serial port.
### CLI Usage:
Assuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:
This example sets the UBX NAV-HPPOSLLH message rate to 1:
```shell
> ubxsetrate --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baudrate 38400 --msgClass 0x01 --msgID 0x14 --rate 1
Opening serial port /dev/ttyACM0 @ 38400 baud...

## <a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a>
1. `SPARTNTypeError` or `SPARTNParseError` when parsing encrypted messages with 16-bit gnssTimetags (`timeTagtype=0`), e.g. GAD or some OCB messages:
```
pyspartn.exceptions.SPARTNTypeError: Error processing attribute 'group' in message type SPARTN-1X-GAD
```
This is almost certainly due to an invalid decryption key and/or basedate. Remember that keys are only valid for a 4 week period, and basedates are valid for no more than half a day. Note also that different GNSS constellations use different UTC datums e.g. GLONASS timestamps are based on UTC+3. Check with your SPARTN service provider for the latest decryption key(s), and check the original creation date of your SPARTN datasource.
1. `SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED` error when attempting to connect to SPARTN MQTT service using `gnssmqttclient` on MacOS:
```
[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)
```
This is because `gnssmqttclient` is unable to locate the RootCA certificate for the MQTT Broker. This can normally be resolved as follows:
- Install the latest version of certifi: ```python3 -m pip install --upgrade certifi```
- Run the following command from the terminal (_substituting your Python path and version as required_): ```/Applications/Python\ 3.12/Install\ Certificates.command```
1. Unable to install `crytography` library required by `pyspartn` on 32-bit Linux platforms:
```
Building wheel for cryptography (PEP 517): started
Building wheel for cryptography (PEP 517): finished with status 'error'
```
Refer to [cryptography installation README.md](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyspartn/blob/main/cryptography_installation/README.md).

[pyubx2](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2) - UBX parsing and generation library, which in turn utilises:\n1. [pynmeagps](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pynmeagps) - NMEA parsing and generation library\n1. [pyrtcm](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyrtcm) - RTCM3 parsing library\n1. [pyspartn](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyspartn) - SPARTN parsing library\n\nOriginally developed in support of the [PyGPSClient](https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient) GUI GNSS application, the utilities provided by pygnssutils can also be used in their own right:\n\n1. `GNSSStreamer` class and its associated [`gnssdump`](#gnssdump) CLI utility. This is essentially a configurable input/output wrapper around the [`pyubx2.UBXReader`](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2#reading) class with flexible message formatting and filtering options for NMEA, UBX and RTCM3 protocols.\n1. `GNSSSocketServer` class and its associated [`gnssserver`](#gnssserver) CLI utility. This implements a TCP Socket Server for GNSS data streams which is also capable of being run as a simple NTRIP Server.\n1. `GNSSNTRIPClient` class and its associated [`gnssntripclient`](#gnssntripclient) CLI utility. This implements\na simple NTRIP Client which receives RTCM3 or SPARTN correction data from an NTRIP Server and (optionally) sends this to a\ndesignated output stream.\n1. `GNSSMQTTClient` class and its associated [`gnssmqttclient`](#gnssmqttclient) CLI utility. This implements\na simple SPARTN IP (MQTT) Client which receives SPARTN correction data from an SPARTN IP location service sends this to a\ndesignated output stream.\n1. [`ubxsimulator`](#ubxsimulator) utility. This provides a simple simulation of a GNSS receiver serial stream by generating synthetic UBX or NMEA messages based on parameters defined in a json configuration file.\n1. [`ubxsave`](#ubxsave) CLI utility. This saves a complete set of configuration data from any Generation 9+ u-blox device (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P) to a file. The file can then be reloaded to any compatible device using the `ubxload` utility.\n1. [`ubxload`](#ubxload) CLI utility. This reads a file containing binary configuration data and loads it into any compatible Generation 9+ u-blox device (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P).\n1. [`ubxsetrate`](#ubxsetrate) CLI utility. A simple utility which sets NMEA or UBX message rates on u-blox GNSS receivers.\n\nThe pygnssutils homepage is located at [https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils).\n\n## <a name=\"currentstatus\">Current Status</a>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSphinx API Documentation in HTML format is available at [https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils).\n\nContributions welcome - please refer to [CONTRIBUTING.MD](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n[Bug reports](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md) and [Feature requests](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md) - please use the templates provided. For general queries and advice, post a message to one of the [pygnssutils Discussions](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/discussions) channels.\n\n---\n## <a name=\"installation\">Installation</a>\n\n\n[](https://pypi.org/project/pygnssutils/)\n\n\n`pygnssutils` is compatible with Python >=3.8. It is recommended that the Python 3 scripts (bin) folder is in your PATH.\n\nIn the following, `python3` & `pip` refer to the Python 3 executables. You may need to type \n`python` or `pip3`, depending on your particular environment.\n\nThe recommended way to install the latest version of `pygnssutils` is with\n[pip](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/):\n\n```shell\npython3 -m pip install --upgrade pygnssutils\n```\n\nIf required, `pygnssutils` can also be installed into a virtual environment, e.g.:\n\n```shell\npython3 -m pip install --user --upgrade virtualenv\npython3 -m virtualenv env\nsource env/bin/activate (or env\\Scripts\\activate on Windows)\n(env) python3 -m pip install --upgrade pygnssutils\n...\ndeactivate\n```\n\nFor [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) users, `pygnssutils` is also available from [conda forge](https://github.com/conda-forge/pygnssutils-feedstock):\n\n[](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pygnssutils)\n[](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pygnssutils)\n\n```shell\nconda install -c conda-forge pygnssutils\n```\n\n---\n## <a name=\"gnssdump\">GNSSStreamer and gnssdump CLI</a>\n\n```\nclass pygnssutils.gnssdump.GNSSStreamer(**kwargs)\n```\n\n`GNSSStreamer` is essentially a configurable input/output wrapper around the [`pyubx2.UBXReader`](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2#reading) class. It supports a variety of input streams (including serial, file and socket) and outputs either to stdout (terminal), to an output file or to a custom output handler. The custom output handler can be a writeable output medium (serial, file, socket or queue) or an evaluable Python expression (e.g. lambda function).\n\nThe utility can output data in a variety of formats; parsed (1), raw binary (2), hexadecimal string (4), tabulated hexadecimal (8), parsed as string (16), JSON (32), or any combination thereof. You could, for example, output the parsed version of a UBX message alongside its tabular hexadecimal representation.\n\nAny one of the following data stream specifiers must be provided:\n- `port`: serial port e.g. `COM3` or `/dev/ttyACM1`\n- `filename`: fully qualified path to binary input file e.g. `/logs/logfile.bin`\n- `socket`: socket e.g. `192.168.0.72:50007` (port must be specified)\n- `stream`: any other instance of a stream class which implements a read(n) -> bytes method\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> gnssdump -h\n```\n\nRefer to the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.gnssdump) for further details.\n\n### CLI Usage:\n\nAssuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:\n\nSerial input example (with simple external output handler):\n\n```shell\n> gnssdump --port /dev/ttyACM1 --baudrate 9600 --timeout 5 --quitonerror 1 --protfilter 2 --msgfilter NAV-PVT --outputhandler \"lambda msg: print(f'lat: {msg.lat}, lon: {msg.lon}')\"\n\n2022-06-23 19:23:12.052109: Parsing GNSS data stream from serial: Serial<id=0x10fe8f100, open=True>(port='/dev/ttyACM1', baudrate=9600, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=5, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False)...\n\nlat: 51.352179, lon: -2.130762\nlat: 51.352155, lon: -2.130751\n```\n\nFile input example (in parsed and tabulated hexadecimal formats):\n\n```shell\n> gnssdump --filename pygpsdata.log --quitonerror 2 --format 9\n\n2022-07-01 10:47:28.097706: Parsing GNSS data stream from file: <_io.BufferedReader name='pygpsdata.log'>...\n\n<UBX(NAV-STATUS, iTOW=09:47:37, gpsFix=3, gpsFixOk=1, diffSoln=0, wknSet=1, towSet=1, diffCorr=0, carrSolnValid=1, mapMatching=0, psmState=0, spoofDetState=1, carrSoln=0, ttff=33377, msss=1912382)>\n000: b562 0103 1000 f80c da1b 03dd 0208 6182 | b'\\xb5b\\x01\\x03\\x10\\x00\\xf8\\x0c\\xda\\x1b\\x03\\xdd\\x02\\x08a\\x82' |\n016: 0000 3e2e 1d00 633d | b'\\x00\\x00>.\\x1d\\x00c=' |\n\n<UBX(NAV-DOP, iTOW=09:47:37, gDOP=1.55, pDOP=1.32, tDOP=0.8, vDOP=1.11, hDOP=0.72, nDOP=0.59, eDOP=0.42)>\n000: b562 0104 1200 f80c da1b 9b00 8400 5000 | b'\\xb5b\\x01\\x04\\x12\\x00\\xf8\\x0c\\xda\\x1b\\x9b\\x00\\x84\\x00P\\x00' |\n016: 6f00 4800 3b00 2a00 9b75 | b'o\\x00H\\x00;\\x00*\\x00\\x9bu' |\n\n<UBX(NAV-TIMEGPS, iTOW=09:47:37, fTOW=422082, week=2216, leapS=18, towValid=1, weekValid=1, leapSValid=1, tAcc=10)>\n000: b562 0120 1000 f80c da1b c270 0600 a808 | b'\\xb5b\\x01 \\x10\\x00\\xf8\\x0c\\xda\\x1b\\xc2p\\x06\\x00\\xa8\\x08' |\n016: 1207 0a00 0000 3566 | b'\\x12\\x07\\n\\x00\\x00\\x005f' |\n```\n\nSocket input example (in JSON format):\n\n```shell\n> gnssdump --socket 192.168.0.20:50010 --format 32 --msgfilter 1087\n\n2022-06-23 19:27:10.103332: Parsing GNSS data stream from: <socket.socket fd=3, family=AddressFamily.AF_INET, type=SocketKind.SOCK_STREAM, proto=0, laddr=('127.0.0.1', 57399), raddr=('127.0.0.1', 50010)>...\n\n{\"GNSS_Messages: [{\"class\": \"<class 'pyrtcm.rtcmmessage.RTCMMessage'>\", \"identity\": \"1087\", \"payload\": {\"DF002\": 1087, \"DF003\": 0, \"GNSSEpoch\": 738154640, \"DF393\": 1, \"DF409\": 0, \"DF001_7\": 0, \"DF411\": 0, \"DF412\": 0, \"DF417\": 0, \"DF418\": 0, \"DF394\": 1152921504606846976, \"NSat\": 1, \"DF395\": 1073741824, \"NSig\": 1, \"DF396\": 1, \"DF405_01\": 0.00050994, \"DF406_01\": 0.00194752, \"DF407_01\": 102, \"DF420_01\": 0, \"DF408_01\": 0, \"DF404_01\": 0.5118}},...]}\n```\n\nOutput file example (this filters unwanted UBX config & debug messages from a u-center .ubx file):\n\n```shell\n> gnssdump --filename COM6__9600_220623_093412.ubx --protfilter 1 --format 2 --verbosity 0 --outfile COM6__9600_220623_093412_filtered.ubx\n```\n\n## <a name=\"gnssserver\">GNSSSocketServer and gnssserver CLI</a>\n\n```\nclass pygnssutils.gnssserver.GNSSSocketServer(**kwargs)\n```\n\n`GNSSSocketServer` is essentially a wrapper around the `GNSSStreamer` and `SocketServer` classes (the latter based on the native Python `ThreadingTCPServer` framework) which uses queues to transport data between the two classes.\n\n### CLI Usage - Default Mode:\n\nIn its default configuration (`ntripmode=0`) `gnssserver` acts as an open, unauthenticated CLI TCP socket server, reading the binary data stream from a host-connected GNSS receiver and broadcasting the data to any local or remote TCP socket client capable of parsing binary GNSS data.\n\nIt supports most of `gnssdump`'s formatting capabilities and could be configured to output a variety of non-binary formats (including, for example, JSON or hexadecimal), but the client software would need to be capable of parsing data in such formats.\n\nAssuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:\n\n```shell\n> gnssserver --inport \"/dev/tty.usbmodem14301\" --baudrate 115200 --hostip 192.168.0.20 --outport 6000\nStarting server (type CTRL-C to stop)...\nStarting input thread, reading from /dev/tty.usbmodem141301...\n\nParsing GNSS data stream from: Serial<id=0x1063647f0, open=True>(port='/dev/tty.usbmodem141301', baudrate=115200, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=3, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False)...\n\nStarting output thread, broadcasting on 192.168.0.20:6000...\nClient ('192.168.0.56', 59565) has connected. Total clients: 1\nClient ('192.168.0.34', 59566) has connected. Total clients: 2\nClient ('192.168.0.41', 59567) has connected. Total clients: 3\nClient ('192.168.0.56', 59565) has disconnected. Total clients: 2\n```\n\n`gnssserver` can be run as a daemon process (or even a service) but note that abrupt termination (i.e. without invoking the internal `server.shutdown()` method) may result in the designated TCP socket port being unavailable for a short period - this is operating system dependant.\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> gnssserver -h\n```\n\nRefer to the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.gnssserver) for further details.\n\n### CLI Usage - NTRIP Mode:\n\n`gnssserver` can also be configured to act as a single-mountpoint NTRIP Server/Caster (`ntripmode=1`), broadcasting RTCM3 RTK correction data to any authenticated NTRIP client on the standard 2101 port using the mountpoint name `pygnssutils` (**NB**: to use with standard NTRIP clients, output format must be set to binary (2) - this is the default, so the argument can be omitted): \n\n```shell\n> gnssserver --inport \"/dev/tty.usbmodem14101\" --hostip 192.168.0.20 --outport 2101 --ntripmode 1 --protfilter 4 --format 2 --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword\n```\n\n**NOTE THAT** this configuration is predicated on the host-connected receiver being an RTK-capable device (e.g. the u-blox ZED-F9P) operating in 'Base Station' mode (either 'SURVEY_IN' or 'FIXED') and outputting the requisite RTCM3 RTK correction messages (1005, 1077, 1087, 1097, 1127, 1230). NTRIP server login credentials are set via command line arguments or environment variables `PYGPSCLIENT_USER` and `PYGPSCLIENT_PASSWORD`. \n\n### Clients\n\n`gnssserver` will work with any client capable of parsing binary GNSS data from a TCP socket. Suitable clients include, *but are not limited to*:\n\n1) (in default mode) pygnssutils's `gnssdump` cli utility invoked thus:\n\n```shell\n> gnssdump --socket hostip:outport\n```\n\n2) (in NTRIP mode) Any standard NTRIP client, including BKG's [NTRIP client (BNC)](https://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/download), ublox's [legacy ucenter NTRIP client](https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center), or pygnssutil's `gnssntripclient` cli utility invoked thus:\n\n```shell\n> gnssntripclient -S hostip -P 2101 -M pygnssutils --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword\n```\n\n3) The [PyGPSClient GUI](https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient?tab=readme-ov-file#ntripconfig) application.\n\n---\n## <a name=\"gnssntripclient\">GNSSNTRIPClient and gnssntripclient CLI</a>\n \n```\nclass pygnssutils.gnssntripclient.GNSSNTRIPClient(app=None, **kwargs)\n```\n\nThe `GNSSNTRIPClient` class provides a basic NTRIP Client capability and forms the basis of a [`gnssntripclient`](#gnssntripclient) CLI utility. It receives RTCM3 or SPARTN correction data from an NTRIP server and (optionally) sends this to a designated output stream. NTRIP server login credentials are set via command line arguments or environment variables `PYGPSCLIENT_USER` and `PYGPSCLIENT_PASSWORD`.\n\n### CLI Usage:\n\nAssuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:\n\nTo retrieve the sourcetable and determine the closest available mountpoint to the reference lat/lon, leave the mountpoint argument blank (the port defaults to 2101):\n\n```shell\n> gnssntripclient --server rtk2go.com --datatype RTCM --ggamode 1 --reflat 37.23 --reflon 115.81 --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword\n2022-06-03 20:15:54.510294: Closest mountpoint to reference location 37.23,-115.81 = WW6RY, 351.51 km\n\nComplete sourcetable follows...\n\n['AGSSIAAP', 'Acheres', 'RTCM 3.0', '1004(1),1006(13),1012(1),1033(31)', '2', 'GPS+GLO', 'SNIP', 'FRA', '48.97', '2.17', '1', '0', 'sNTRIP', 'none', 'N', 'N', '2540', '']\n...\n```\n\nTo retrieve correction data from a designated mountpoint (this will send NMEA GGA position sentences to the server at intervals of 60 seconds, based on the supplied reference lat/lon):\n\n```shell\n> gnssntripclient --server rtk2go.com --ggamode 1 --reflat 37.23 --reflon -115.81 --mountpoint UFOSRUS --ggainterval 60 --ntripuser myuser --ntrippassword mypassword\n2022-06-03 11:55:10.305870: <RTCM(1077, DF002=1077, DF003=0, GNSSEpoch=471328000, DF393=1, ...\n```\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> gnssntripclient -h\n```\n\nRefer to the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.gnssntripclient) for further details.\n\n---\n## <a name=\"gnssmqttclient\">GNSSMQTTClient and gnssmqttclient CLI</a>\n```\nclass pygnssutils.gnssmqttclient.GNSSMQTTClient(app=None, **kwargs)\n```\n\nThe `GNSSMQTTClient` class provides a basic SPARTN IP (MQTT) Client capability and forms the basis of a [`gnssmqttclient`](#gnssmqttclient) CLI utility. It receives RTK correction data from a SPARTN IP (MQTT) location service (e.g. the u-blox / Thingstream PointPerfect service) and (optionally) sends this to a designated output stream.\n\n### CLI Usage:\n\nThe `clientid` provided by the location service may be set as environment variable `MQTTCLIENTID`. If this environment variable is set and the TLS certificate (\\*.crt) and key (\\*.pem) files provided by the location service are placed in the user's `HOME` directory, the utility can use these as default settings and may be invoked without any arguments.\n\nAssuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus (press CTRL-C to terminate):\n\n```shell\n> gnssmqttclient\n2023-02-23 18:40:41.552070: Starting MQTT client with arguments {'server': 'pp.services.u-blox.com', 'port': 8883, 'clientid': '{your-client-id}', 'region': 'eu', 'topic_ip': 1, 'topic_mga': 1, 'topic_key': 1, 'tlscrt': '/Users/{your-user}/device-{your-clientid}-pp-cert.crt', 'tlskey': '/Users/{your-user}/device-{your-client-id}-pp-key.pem'}, output None.\n<UBX(RXM-SPARTN-KEY, version=1, numKeys=2, ... )>\n<UBX(MGA-INI-TIME-UTC, type=16, etc... )>\n<UBX(MGA-GPS-EPH, type=1, version=0, ... )>\n...\n<SPARTN(SPARTN-1X-GAD, msgType=2, nData=191 ... )>\n<SPARTN(SPARTN-1X-OCB-GPS, msgType=0, nData=44 ... )>\n...\n```\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> gnssmqttclient -h\n```\n\n---\n## <a name=\"ubxsimulator\">ubxsimulator utility</a>\n\n### EXPERIMENTAL\n\nProvides a simple simulation of a GNSS serial stream by generating synthetic UBX or NMEA messages based on parameters defined in a json configuration file. Can simulate a motion vector based on a specified course over ground and speed.\n\nExample usage::\n\n```python\nfrom pygnssutils import UBXSimulator\nfrom pyubx2 import UBXReader\n\nwith UBXSimulator(configfile=\"/home/myuser/ubxsimulator.json\", interval=1, timeout=3) as stream:\n ubr = UBXReader(stream)\n for raw, parsed in ubr:\n print(parsed)\n```\n\nGenerates mock acknowledgements (ACK-ACK) for valid incoming UBX commands and polls.\n\nSee sample [ubxsimulator.json](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pygnssutils/blob/main/examples/ubxsimulator.json) configuration file in the \\examples folder, and the [Sphinx API documentation](https://www.semuconsulting.com/pygnssutils/pygnssutils.html#module-pygnssutils.ubxsimulator).\n\n**NB:** Principally intended for testing Python GNSS application functionality. There is currently no attempt to simulate real-world satellite geodetics, though this could be done using e.g. the Python [`skyfield`](https://pypi.org/project/skyfield/) library and the relevant satellite [TLE (orbital elements) data](https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/table.php?GROUP=gnss&FORMAT=tle). We may look into adding such functionality as and when time permits. Contributions welcome.\n\n---\n## <a name=\"ubxsave\">ubxsave CLI</a>\n\n*GENERATION 9+ DEVICES ONLY (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P)*\n\n```\nclass pygnssutils.ubxconfig.UBXSaver(file, stream, **kwargs)\n```\n\nCLI utility which saves Generation 9+ UBX device configuration data to a file. `ubxsave` polls configuration data via the device's serial port using a series of CFG-VALGET poll messages. It parses the responses to these polls, converts them to CFG-VALSET command messages and saves these to a binary file. This binary file can then be loaded into any compatible UBX device (e.g. via the `ubxload` utility) to restore the saved configuration.\n\nThe CFG-VALSET commands are stored as a single transaction. If one or more fails on reload, the entire set will be rejected.\n\n*NB*: The utility relies on receiving a complete set of poll responses within a specified `waittime`. If the device is exceptionally busy or the transmit buffer is full, poll responses may be delayed or dropped altogether. If the utility reports errors, try increasing the waittime. \n\n### CLI Usage:\n\n```shell\n> ubxsave --port /dev/ttyACM1 --baudrate 9600 --timeout 0.02 --outfile ubxconfig.ubx --verbosity 1\n```\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> ubxsave -h\n```\n\n---\n## <a name=\"ubxload\">ubxload CLI</a>\n\n*GENERATION 9+ DEVICES ONLY (e.g. NEO-M9N or ZED-F9P)*\n\n```\nclass pygnssutils.ubxconfig.UBXLoader(file, stream, **kwargs)\n```\n\nCLI utility which loads UBX configuration (CFG-VALSET) data from a binary file (e.g. one created by the `ubxsave` utility) and loads it into the volatile memory (RAM) of a compatible Generation 9+ UBX device via its serial port. It then awaits acknowledgements to this data and reports any errors.\n\n### CLI Usage:\n\n```shell\n> ubxload --port /dev/ttyACM1 --baudrate 9600 --timeout 0.05 --infile ubxconfig.ubx --verbosity 1\n```\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> ubxload -h\n```\n\n---\n## <a name=\"ubxsetrate\">ubxsetrate CLI</a>\n\n```\nclass pygnssutils.ubxconfig.UBXSetRate(**kwargs)\n```\n\nA simple CLI utility to set NMEA or UBX message rates on u-blox receivers via a serial port.\n\n### CLI Usage:\n\nAssuming the Python 3 scripts (bin) directory is in your PATH, the CLI utility may be invoked from the shell thus:\n\nThis example sets the UBX NAV-HPPOSLLH message rate to 1:\n\n```shell\n> ubxsetrate --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baudrate 38400 --msgClass 0x01 --msgID 0x14 --rate 1\n\nOpening serial port /dev/ttyACM0 @ 38400 baud...\n\nSending configuration message <UBX(CFG-MSG, msgClass=NAV, msgID=NAV-HPPOSLLH, rateDDC=1, rateUART1=1, rateUART2=1, rateUSB=1, rateSPI=1, reserved=0)>...\n\nConfiguration message sent.\n```\n\nRefer to [pyubx2 documentation](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyubx2/blob/master/pyubx2/ubxtypes_core.py) for available `msgClass` and `msgID` values. `msgClass` and `msgID` can be specified in either integer or hexadecimal formats.\n\nAlternatively, the `msgClass` keyword can be set to one of the following group values (in which case the `msgID` keyword can be omitted):\n- \"allubx\" - set rate for all available UBX NAV messages\n- \"minubx\" - set rate for a minimum set of UBX NAV messages (NAV-PVT, NAV-SAT)\n- \"allnmea\" - set rate for all available NMEA messages\n- \"minnmea\" - set rate for a minimum set of NMEA messages (GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG)\n\nFor help and full list of optional arguments, type:\n\n```shell\n> ubxsetrate -h\n```\n\n---\n## <a name=\"troubleshooting\">Troubleshooting</a>\n\n1. `SPARTNTypeError` or `SPARTNParseError` when parsing encrypted messages with 16-bit gnssTimetags (`timeTagtype=0`), e.g. GAD or some OCB messages:\n\n ```\n pyspartn.exceptions.SPARTNTypeError: Error processing attribute 'group' in message type SPARTN-1X-GAD\n ```\n\n This is almost certainly due to an invalid decryption key and/or basedate. Remember that keys are only valid for a 4 week period, and basedates are valid for no more than half a day. Note also that different GNSS constellations use different UTC datums e.g. GLONASS timestamps are based on UTC+3. Check with your SPARTN service provider for the latest decryption key(s), and check the original creation date of your SPARTN datasource.\n\n1. `SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED` error when attempting to connect to SPARTN MQTT service using `gnssmqttclient` on MacOS:\n\n ```\n [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)\n ```\n\n This is because `gnssmqttclient` is unable to locate the RootCA certificate for the MQTT Broker. This can normally be resolved as follows:\n - Install the latest version of certifi: ```python3 -m pip install --upgrade certifi```\n - Run the following command from the terminal (_substituting your Python path and version as required_): ```/Applications/Python\\ 3.12/Install\\ Certificates.command```\n\n\n1. Unable to install `crytography` library required by `pyspartn` on 32-bit Linux platforms:\n\n ```\n Building wheel for cryptography (PEP 517): started\n Building wheel for cryptography (PEP 517): finished with status 'error'\n ```\n\n Refer to [cryptography installation README.md](https://github.com/semuconsulting/pyspartn/blob/main/cryptography_installation/README.md).\n\n\n---\n## <a name=\"gui\">Graphical Client</a>\n\nA python/tkinter graphical GPS client which utilises the `pygnssutils` library and supports NMEA, UBX, RTCM3 and NTRIP protocols is available at: \n\n[https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient](https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient)\n\n\n---\n## <a name=\"author\">Author & License Information</a>\n\nsemuadmin@semuconsulting.com\n\n\n\n`pygnssutils` is maintained entirely by unpaid volunteers.
