I am confused now too when you are saying you have long observations and “no solution” from RTPK.
In the tests I’ve done with reprocessing the same data at different with split intervals, the interval period is not really an important factor. What is important to verify a good solution is time separation between sessions that agree. In the Variety + RTPK profile I designed for the LS+ it splits the data at 30 second periods.
We are using LS+
For the 1st month we have had the new version we’ve had the settings on the default of extreme (2 minutes).
We have had very few points in what is our standard rough to extreme conditions that EVER get a (2) or a (3) rtpk match even after occupying the point for over 15 minutes. About 95% of our points in this typical terrain gives an initial rtpk on 1st solution but then every solution thereafter comes back “no solution”.
Now, from what I think I’ve been told, all those 2 minute solutions are ONLY processing that particular 2 minutes and not an aggregate total of the entire session. If that is in fact the case, I’m not surprised at all now with what I’ve been seeing.
This definitely makes sense from our use of the previous version as we never trusted or used our 1st 2 minute solution, but the 2nd (4 total minutes) and the 3rd (6 total minutes) were very, very reliable. Only 2 minutes in our typical terrain and coverage just isn’t enough time.
I have, as of this morning, changed our extreme time to 6 minutes. With that, I can manually run an rtpk at about 3 minutes to get my 1st solution. I can run it again at 4 & 5 minutes if I choose (the asterisk will hold doing this and either move if the solution is different or stay in the same spot). I believe, with this process, I wont completely “lose” some kind of rtpk solution until after the 2nd 6 minute session completes if it doesn’t match the 1st.
