Yes. Does it work for you?
Does it work for you?
It's been awhile since I've used it, but it used to work.?ÿ I stopped using it because I use a variety of antennas and found that hand-entering the data is a necessary QC step to ensure I don't process with the wrong antenna.

I tried it in the past, became frustrated, quit using it because it wasn't doing anything, and forgot it was there. I just tried it again. It saved my email address but not my receiver antenna type.?ÿ
On a side note, it doesn't save receiver specification, it saves (or doesn't save, as the case may be) the antenna specification.?ÿ OPUS doesn't care what receiver you use.
I tried to use the profile, but also found it to be no big help and quit.
I have a tool called 'OPUS Upload' (OU) that you can put on your desktop. It is code signed and free.
Run it and enter your email address once, then just drop RINEX2 files on it and it will submit them to OPUS static or RS based on the observation length.
By default it will pull the antenna and HI from the RINEX file, however you can also override the antenna type. The HI needs to be in the RINEX file.
This file: https://iggps.com/out/OA_OU/OU/OU_20211107-2040.zip has the latest distribution and there is a fairly complete User Manual included in the ZIP file.
There are several ways to submit:
?ÿ drop files on the shortcut
?ÿ run the tool and pick a file, a group of files, a folder or a top-most folder (with wildcards)
?ÿ you can even have it recurse an entire drive and automatically submit every, single obs file on the drive
We (iGage) use this tool as part of our iGx submission tool and I personally use it to automatically submit daily 24-hour files collected from the large array of CORS stations that I administer.
This tool has a whole bunch of other esoteric features, but I think most people who use it just submit piles of CORS station data.
Combined with the companion tool OPUS Accumulator (OA), you can submit files daily, generating trending plots and summary excel files. It automatically will wait 14-days and resubmit observations until an OPUS solution with precise ephemeris is returned. OA even computes station velocities for the NAD83 and ITRF framed results and summarizes the averaged returned positions. Another companion tool looks at the position trends using an SPC algorithm and sends me a text message if a station moves substantially
Here is an example position plot:
Here is the matching Excel output:
The thing about OU and OA is: if you need them, you really need them.
@cordgrass The LSU link doesn??t have a create account to log in. Is it reserved for students and alumni??ÿ
I believe that one of the things that the OPUS team is working on for a future version is the ability to read the antenna type and HI from the rinex header.?ÿ
@john-hamilton I??ve always been perplexed as to why opus ignores the header data for antenna type and height.
I??m still happy that opus takes the old Ashtech B files as is. No rinex required. (I have week rollover corrected firmware for ZSurveyor.)?ÿ
If you have a subscription with LSU C4g RTN network you can use it.?ÿ
Super-easy to implement, but there was a feeling in the OPUS group that the header info could not be trusted to be correct. Not sure where that comes from, it is a text file that is easy to put in the correct info. Of course if one is not careful then the rinex file could be corrupted. I use a simple text editor, and I also have a program that prompts for the values and updates the header info.?ÿ
My thoughts on that are at least read it and then give the user a chance to change the values if needed.?ÿ
?ÿ
yeah. Super easy. The antenna type might be due to non standard nomenclature. But HI should be ok, as it could be overwritten in the opus menu.
Opus is still the best free lunch.?ÿ
OPUS is free, so I wouldn??t complain. You can process your own data, which most times I do. ?ÿBut if you send static files through Trimble??s online data processing web page to OPUS (free but for Trimble files) it??ll come back with a XLM file you can drag into TBC and never have deal with the numbers.?ÿ
Actually we in the U.S. a third unit called "foot" has been added to the U.S. Foot and the International Foot. It is the same size as the International Foot but other names were "deprecated".
Advice, please don't use the new foot when calculating older surveys. New and future surveyors in the U.S. will have to be warned about confusing the foot with the foot.
