Help with GPS Setup and OPUS
Hello Everyone!
I am having some serious trouble with my Topcon Hiper SR and taking static observations that will upload to OPUS. I have used this forum for several weeks to find answers to some of my woes, but I couldn’t seem to find the answer that I am looking for.
I have run several RTK sessions with other GPS units in the past, but as far as Static goes, I have done very little. I purchased a Topcon Hiper SR standalone to calculate controls for rural surveys using static (in hindsight, I probably should have forked over the cash to go Network). I am using Magnet on my FC-500 to gather my raw data. I have also used TRU on the FC-500 to bypass Magnet in the event that it is a software problem.
I have run multiple sessions from 1 second to 15 second logging intervals and sessions that last from 15 minutes to 4+ hours. I have run rapid static and static in OPUS. I am also uploading the TPS file directly to OPUS. No avail. Solution always aborts with a myriad of messages.
I tried to run TPS2RIN and TEQC to get a pure RINEX file to send up. I can’t seem to get them to work either. I am running both on a Windows XP laptop that I still use and I followed the forum posts from RPLS for instructions.
At this point, I am sure that I have some setting incorrect or I am ignorant of how to operate the unit. It is very frustrating to say the least. I am also a newly licensed surveyor in MS (1.5 years) and trying to do some small jobs on my own.
If anyone could help me find out what is going on, I would definitely appreciate it.
Thanks!
Chris
