I just spent about 2 hours trying to figure out HOW OPUS was screwing up the Ellipsoid heights on two (2) of the thirteen (13) submissions that I sent in tonight.

OPUS is FINE, but I'm an IDIOT!

Wrong antenna type and HI on my part!

I REALLY need to retire...

You're fine, at least you found the glitch. 😉

Yeah...maybe.

It should have taken about 1 minute to find! ALWAYS check the Antenna Type & HI FIRST!

I think that I'm going to hit the sack, and get up early tomorrow. Maybe my brain will be working better with some coffee.

Sorry buddy, but senior moments occur randomly. The one certainty is that the frequency of their occurrence is an exponential function of age! 😉

I am not sure if I am making more stupid mistakes or if they just bother me more now that I worry about becoming senile.

Was this at submission?

I'm glad for my new program that automates all that. Click on the file send to OPUS.

All you need to do is type in the email address you want the results sent to.

Of course the measurments and antennna types need to be correctly entered in the field.

We call those "ID: 10t" errors here. I make enough of them to share the statement. I catch enough of them to use the statement for others...

Saturday I had a 3 hour occupation, sent in a RINEX file and the solution error was too big for my liking. I parsed it into 3 RINEX files and submitted to OPUS-RS. Abort, typical message that it could not be converted to RINEX.

Thought about it and converted the three short files back to Ashtech "B" format and submitted. Bingo, 3 solutions better than the OPUS the night before. That seemed too easy, so I resubmitted one of the short RINEX files and it matched the "B". Seems I was just a 1/2 hr. too early on my first Sunday OPUS-RS submission. Not that I even needed it yesterday, as I was then off to church and then 3 hours in the church kitchen feeding about 100 people.

In all my OPUS years that was the first time I sent in a "B" file. Since I do any editing or parsing in RINEX, converting to RINEX was just the usual first step.

My complaint is that when your submit too early to OPUS-RS it should just honestly say, "Too soon, please come back at 13:00 UTC or so".

I have always sent B files to opus. Fewer steps the better, it's a no-brainer.

My bitch is only the first 2 epochs were 20" interval, then 2+ hours of 10" interval. Opus kicked it back.

So, convert to rinex and remove 2 epochs, edit the header. That seemed a bit lame. 2 epochs at 20", and 750 epochs at 10", rejected.

At least I remembered to check the interval, but 2 were written to disc.
