    VRS & CMR/CMR+

    In an ongoing effort to get J-Field to record the vector from a VRS physical reference station to the rover (instead of the virtual base to rover), I tried switching from RTCM to CMR/CMR+, but when I do that I don't get any corrections -- all the engines say "no data." Checking the Send GGA (or...

    VRS RTN Base Position

    I'm demo'ing a VRS subscription for use in an upcoming project in which I hope to use RTN vectors in OPUS Projects via GVX export. In its current form, the J-Field GVX exporter has some problems, and I've been working with John Roscoe in Support on the ones I've identified so far. But I...

    Localize After-the-Fact

    I cop to being particularly dense when it comes to localize procedures. Maybe it's because I don't use it often enough, or maybe I'm just getting too old to lock in new concepts, but this one still has me flummoxed despite the increasing detailed cheat sheets I've prepared. Today's project is...

    RTN Corrections - Antenna Height Reference Point

    When J-Field receives correction data from an RTN mountpoint, does it have any way of knowing whether the height reference is the ARP, the geodetic monument, the APC, or some other measurement point at the antenna? Is that information encoded in the RTCM message, or is there just an assumption...

    Compass Box Icons

    What do the two items above the azimuth in the compass box mean? The one on the left appears to be a bullseye bubble, but I've never seen an explanation for its dynamic behavior. The one on the right looks like an analog clock, but I have no idea what it represents (unless I just happened to...

    Forum Colors

    As of this morning the color scheme of the forum has changed, at least on my system. I find it very hard to read, and would prefer to go back to the way it was. Is this a user-selectable option, or is it systemwide?

    RINEX Converter

    For reasons unknown, I can no longer right-click on a JPS file and see the options for RINEX conversion. Figuring that I need to reinstall something, I went to the Javad website, but it's been substantially reconfigured since I last visited, and I was unable to find any of the software...

    I Don't Understand Why This Is Necessary

    Most of the time I use my T2 with a Jetpack, it' s only on the rare occasion that I need a UHF radio. Why do I have to wait 3+ minutes at every base setup for this Modem Enabling process to complete before I can do any work? Does the process have anything to do with the WiFi connection? If...

    J-Field v4.0 Modem Enabling Delay

    When I start my base it takes about 3 minutes for the Modem Enabling phase to complete. I've been running TCP-only recently, and I don't recall if this happens when I have my UHF radio connected. All I know right now it that it's an annoyingly long time, and I'm wondering why it takes so long...

    v4.0 Verify, Auto Store & Auto Restart Not Working

    This has been mentioned in another v4.0 thread, but I think the subject may have gotten lost among the other issued raised there, so I'm starting a new thread. I use an LS and a T2. My standard profile for control is to collect 1200 epochs, verify (reset engines for 10 epochs in agreement with...

    DPOS Report Not Showing PIDs

    FYI: I just ran DPOS on a number of points and noticed that the report shows "NONE" in the PID field of the five CORS. Each of them has a PID, but they're not shown in the report. I don't recall if this has been a problem in the past, but it'd be nice to have the PIDs shown.

    J-Field 4.0 Release Version

    I got an email message saying that the J-Field 4.0 release version is now live and available "for owners of the Triumph-LS Plus." Does this mean that v4.0 will only pertain to the Plus, or will the plain LS version be released later, or that the release pertains to both?

    Feature Request: Base Recording Time

    I often work on projects that require submitting my base files to OPUS (not OPUS-RS), which requires a minimum 2-hour observation. It would be nice if the Base Rover screen would show the base recording time. There appears to be plenty of room to add this information (see image).

    Runaway Shots

    I generally run a profile that collects 1200 epochs, verifies, then auto-accepts and auto-restarts. Lately I've had some shots that don't accept and restart, they just keep running until I manually stop and accept them. What's causing this?

    Still Struggling With Localize

    I seem to have a mental block when it comes to implementing the localize procedure. I tried again today, but failed to get it to work. Here's what I did, near as I can recall: 1. In the office I created rough (within a foot or two) search locations for the desired points by laying map...

    Blue Start Button

    I may have asked this before, but if I once knew the answer I've forgotten it: what's the significance of the Start button turning blue?

    Auto Restart Stopped Working

    My regular control profile is setup to collect 1200 epochs then auto-accept and restart. After the most recent upgrade the restart no longer works. I tried changing the setting from "restart 1000 times" to 900 times, to no avail.

    J-Field 3.0.10.402 Export Problems

    I updated to J-Field 3.0.10.402 today, and am now having trouble with exports -- I'm getting some empty folders where there should be data. After updating I set up a new job and ran base/rover. At the end of the session I downloaded the base file to the LS. One thing that seemed odd is that...

    Stake Line -- Show Description

    I needed to shoot some cross-sections today, and I used Stake Line so I could stay on line. It worked great except that I couldn't figure out how to change (or even view) the current point description. I wanted to have Description and Point Name in the white boxes, but both those options were...

    Distance & Direction To Base White Box

    I often want to see the distance (and, less often, the direction) from my rover to my base. I looked for a white box option, but didn't see one. Am I looking in the wrong place? Right now to access that information I'm pressing the sigma button (not sure why that icon is used for the...
