Hello all,
I have New to me, Achtech Z-extreme base & rover. Looking for a program to down load static data for OPUS solution. I hear Ashtech solutions, GNSS solutions, and Remote 33 are free & avalible but I can not find them anywhere?
I have Windows XP w/ serial port, Windows 7 w/ USB, and Vista w/ USB. I'm hoping to find a program compatable with Windows XP.
I'm not looking for a hand out (even though that would be nice) but a simple down loading program that can prep a file for OPUS. Thanks to all in advance.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Thanks Kevin I have tried there and the site is down? (Just tryed again.) From what I can tell the site was active a month or so ago......before I got my equipment. Any other leads?
By the way can you open that site on your computer? It maybe my browser? I keep geting this:

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

Thanks again.

Try again. It was working just now for me. The version of GNSS Solutions that is on the ftp site is the latest (and maybe last) version of the software.

With Rover You want To Learn OPUS-RS

With the acceptance of 15 minute files in OPUS-RS you can cover a lot of control points with that rover.

In fact now OPUS-RS will now solve a file half that long.

With Rover You want To Learn OPUS-RS

Thanks Paul, Can't wait to get it up & running. I feel like the man on the moon with the backpack, antenna, & all. From what I've read it is good entry level equiptment. A little out dated but still functional, that is if I can figure it all out. I will mostly use it for OPUS anyway.
