Time Binning

Time binning is requested with --tbin and allows dividing an input context into a batch of files.
This operation is typically used in data production workflows.
Time binning, like most file operations, is intended to work a context that are made of a single file format.

In this example, we'll split a standard file into 4 files of 4 hour duration each.

rinex-cli \
    -f test_resources/CRNX/V3/ESBC00DNK_R_20201770000_01D_30S_MO.crx.gz \
    --tbin "4 hour"

Like all opmodes, time binning can be performed after running some preprocessing operations.
In this example, we do the same thing but only on GPS constellation:

rinex-cli \
    -f test_resources/CRNX/V3/ESBC00DNK_R_20201770000_01D_30S_MO.crx.gz \
    -P GPS --tbin "4 hour"

Like most file operations, time binning works on all RINEX formats.
In this example, we split one day of Meteo sensor observation, into 4 sperate files:

rinex-cli \
    -f test_resources/MET/V3/POTS00DEU_R_20232540000_01D_05M_MM.rnx.gz \
    --tbin "4 hour"
