Support for GVX Format Files #224

Brief description An enhancement to support input and/or output of GNSS baseline data compliant with the GVX file format.

Background The US National Geodetic Survey has developed the GVX format to provide a standard file format for exchanging GNSS vectors derived from varying GNSS survey methods and manufacturer hardware. This standard has now been adopted by industry-standard GNSS baseline processing software including Trimble Business Centre (v5.60 and later) and Leica Infinity (v4.0 and later).

Currently, DynAdjust users rely on scripts to convert data from GNSS baseline processing software into DynaML format before being able to import GNSS baselines into DynAdjust. Implementing support for the GVX format will enable simpler importing and adjustment of GNSS data from industry-standard GNSS processing software.

Further information on the GVX format is available below:
