Sets 7 - 13 (modelling instrument centering)Yes I am recording in grads to make my excel calcs easier.
Sets 7 - 13 (modelling instrument centering)I'm going to get distances to my targets and approximate setup tonight if that helps the modelling.I have ...
Sets 7 - 13 (modelling instrument centering)Nice.So, what now is your best estimate on what precision/accuracy this whole operator/instrument/target s...
Target OrderThey are tight sets right there.
In my experience for single shots they seem worse. You can sample the sight with your eye for longer to get a better idea of where the target is.Howev...
Win 7 basic reinstallHello,I have a netbook running windows 7 basic. I want to upgrade to a SSD to give the old piece of s### a bit more kick. The uni...
Well, I sure geeked it up good and proper when I got my first HP-48. I compared the clock of the HP-48 against a time standard a week or so after I sy...
Dimensional Change of TargetI analysed the geometry of my test range. 0.5mm movement in the station towards or away from the wall would grow or shrink...
My significant other was a graduate surveyor and had to deal with misogynists in several of her workplaces. It was frequently not very pleasant for he...

Dimensional Change of Target> > One way to deal with that question would be to express the data of each set as the apparent distances between th...
Dimensional Change of TargetActually it was a cooler day than usual, mostly overcast. No A/C that day. I have also retracted my earlier analysis of th...
Star*Net ResidualsDid you notice that some arcs show a clear trending in the residuals from negative to positive or positive to negative? R2, R8, R10 ...
Not better than 1"I retract my earlier analysis. I did not graph what I thought I graphed.I re-graphed it and it appears very much random now.
Could be better than 1"This is a graph showing the rounds in chronological order. It shows the residuals from each angle between the targets from the ...
> One important feature of the test array that Conrad used is that it is generally fairly insensitive to centering errors. His targets all fall on ...
Standard Error of a Direction = 1.0"I going to do another test. The next one will have targets spaced in the Hz regions of 0-30 degrees and 180-210 de...

Standard Error of a Direction = 1.0"Cheers Kent. That was my one and only attempt at a starnet file.So my SD for a 1-FACE angle should be 1.4" for thi...
