OPUS-RS, Slower Than Usual

It took over 12 hours yesterday for mine to come back.

OPUS-RS, Slower Than Usual, "T" Plus 30 Hours

And still counting

Paul in PA

I'm still waiting for 5 I sent over 24 hrs ago. 🙁

I'm at 20 hours on one file....and counting. Just checked again and nada.

It's kinda got me in a pinch.

OPUS and other NGS "stuff"

Here's the current NOTICE on the OPUS page:

"OPUS email problems
users are reporting sporadic loss of solution reports.
If you do not receive your solution within a few minutes, consider re-uploading your data file, while we look into the problem."

Also bear in mind:

The NGS is currently UPLOADING the NA2011 readjustment of the Passive Network (should be done tomorrow sometime), so this might be slowing things down a bit too.

Various GEOID/Height-Mod things may be be happening as well (or soon will be).

There are a number of NOTICES on the various NGS web-sites about ongoing changes and updates.

OPUS and other NGS "stuff"

We have sent files 3 times now over the last 2 days. It keeps accepting them so apparently it lost the first 2 or we would get the "can not upload, already in que" error.

My clients with deadlines don't understand 'OPUS is down' is a valid excuse.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

It may get worse, we have 2 weeks of observations to upload to OPUS Projects. We have been running 7 receivers for about 72 hours straight on control points. We are going to submit it as 6 hour sessions.

46 Hours And No Joy/

I will resubmit shortly.

It is less crucial now. For the second day my other projects left me little time to close out my traverse. I have 3 points yet to occupy, with only some azimuth and power pole side shots. I am very glad I got my fieldwork started when I did, the corn is growing 3"-6" a day. I got the last property pin yesterday and I am halfway up a 1500 access road. My PQ has about 6' high corn, while the adjoiners is 6" soybeans.

So I will analyze 6 GPS traverse points, 3 OPUS, 3 L1, at the same time as the 15 leg traverse.

46 Hours And No Joy/

Last week I received a failure notice from OPUS-RS on a Tuesday afternoon. Resubmitted Wednesday morning. I never received that one.

I resubmitted again on Thursday morning and it finally came in an hour later.

It was an awfully painful way to get one solution.

I Just Resubmitted My Errant 4 Files

Hopefully I get solutions while I am in the field tomorrow.

Got My Second Submission Back This Morning

The last set was outside the polygon. For some reason OPUS-RS did not select WIL1 like it did for all other solutions. Can't complain, without it Lat is 0.006(m) and Lon is 0.004(m) the tightest of all results.

Off to survey in 96+ predictions.

Got My Second Submission Back This Morning

Whatever happened to "Process it yourself"? I only use OPUS as a check, and then only occasionally. I prefer the control I have over my own processing, and the familiarity I have with the results.

When you become dependent on OPUS, seems like you have descended into the ranks of the button pusher.

"Whatever happened to "Process it yourself"? "

I am very sorry but surveying is now very time dependant. I have done OPUS-RS solutions myself and guess what, I had to go to the NGS site and get the exact same data. That extra time has to be passed on to the client. When OPUS is down and I need a solution now, I still do it myself and I have to eat the extra time. As the few monuments still out there continue to deteriorate, disappear or become non accessible it will soon be impossible to do it yourself from scratch.

I take it you still use a tape and write every angle in a field book?

As a note, these 6 OPUS-RS files will be meaned into 3 field traverse points and processed against 3 other L1 occupied traverse points, and then adjusted with the traverse.

"Whatever happened to "Process it yourself"? "

No, Paul, I don't use a tape and write every angle in a field book. But, I do write every pseudorange and carrier phase measurement in the field book!

Plus, who said anything about monuments? I was referring to processing against CORS. Sounds like you are lowballing if you don't have time to process and check your data.

I Process Against CORS Or OPUS Processes Against CORS?

It is the exact same CORS data, so what exactly am I supposed to be able to do better and at greater expense?

I Process Against CORS Or OPUS Processes Against CORS?

I think the Three Stooges would've done a routine about processing CORS data if it had existed then...
