What is "Accept (RefSt)"

[Jim White]

recently I have been having a "Accept(RefSt)" button instead of a regular "Accept" button.

Granted, I have been running longer sessions than normal as I evaluate the new version (3.0.5.282) and it may just be a function of that.

I realize the screen shot has a lousy solution but it was collected on my kitchen window sill on a 15 mile vector from the NYRTN. It resolved in about 30 minutes, but I didn't get back to it until after an hour later.

Maybe ref st means "reference station". Meaning, you don't have your own base station (like a t2, or t3) going.
What DOES interest me though, is the real estate on that screen. Is the upper right hand green button seems to be divided into two parts. Is this something that will be expanded into other uses, such as having your own base?
I sure hope so!

I am curious about this too. I've only seen this after a long observation, without a fix, while using an RTN for corrections. (Also, I am not running the most recent update)
Any info on this?

Accept Ref Sta happens when connection to the rtn is lost during a shot. This is a good improvement that was implemented to save the data on the point you were working on. Before, the point was just lost when connection was lost.

So that data could be post-processed ?

If you had a base file and were recording raw data at the rover then yes (TCP). If your using an rtn, ppk is no. You could process the file with web dpos.

To be precise, this "Accept (RefSt)" happens when the received reference station data changes (position or antenna height / ID). In this case we need to save what we collected. Should we give the possibility to automatically save the point and start a new one?

 

[Jim White]

I think that would be good.

I think if that is done then there needs to be some notification that the last point was auto saved. It needs to be checked by the user because it could have been incorrect.
