Hi there. We went from Topcon to Trimble. When we did that and imported the new .jxl files from Trimble (using the Starnet converter, just like we did with our topcon data) we started getting DM observations, instead of SS observations for our topo sideshots. It appears that our topo sideshots (now called DM in the .dat file) are being used in the overall observation count, which is affecting how starnet is calculating our error factors.
Anyone see this before and know what is going on? Maybe we just aren't seeing a setting or something? Not sure why Topcon would use M and SS and Trimble wants DM. Isn't that just a setting in the Starnet converter program?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Paul
Check your JXL file records for <AngleUnits> and <LatitudeLongitudeUnits> match what you expect
DM is a direction measurement, SS is an angle.
