🙁

It appears that it no longer accepts .dat files.

I just sent one a hour ago to OPUS-RS and it worked fine.

well, that isn't nice, it sent me a reply that it doesn't accept them.

Changed it to Rinex (never had to before) and it went ok

I just sent a DAT file in to OPUS (S, not RS) and got a solution back within a couple of minutes.

I haven't used it a while and had the same result. The extra step to convert to Rinex isn't that big of a deal (in TGO), but still just another place to push a wrong button.

I'm using a 4700 base that isn't exactly state of the art in the ever changing world of gizmo surveying. I wonder if age of the receiver matters?

Another thing could be if you picked the wrong antenna type and something didn't jive in the .dat file? dunno, but it's easy to do from that long list of trimblese jargon.

I would think not. Especially since the DAT file I processed today was from a mid-'90s 4000SSi that predates your 4700.

Mine was from a R-10, sent in a different .dat file and got the same error message

Look at this thread

It may help explain what is going on - or not.

I recently had this happen when I rented a couple of R8 model 3s. I converted the files to rinex and all was well. I thought it was because opus doesn't use glonass satellites.
