STAR*NET V6 - Circe

Chapter 6 RUNNING ADJUSTMENTS
6.1 Overview
STAR*NET allows you to specify the type of processing to perform on your input data.
You can request a full adjustment of your network, a check of the data only, a special
blunder detection run, or a preanalysis of a proposed survey network.
6.2 Adjust Network
To perform an adjustment of your network, choose Run>Adjust Network, or press the
Run Adjustment tool button.
When running the adjustment, STAR*NET reads one or more data files you have
specified in the Data Files dialog. These file are read in the order they appear in the
dialog. As data lines are read and the adjustment proceeds, the status line at the bottom
of the STAR*NET window shows the progress.
In addition, a Processing Summary window appears on your screen to summarize the
progress and results of the adjustment. When an adjustment finishes, a short statistical
summary is displayed in this window indicating how each observation data type fit into
the adjustment. The total error factor for the adjustment is shown and an indication of
whether or not the Chi Square Test passed. A more detailed statistical summary is
included in the output listing. Refer to Chapter 8, “Analysis of Adjustment Output” for
more information on adjustment statistics and results.
If errors or warnings were generated during processing, this is indicated at the end of the
progress information shown in the Processing Summary window. These errors or
warnings should always be reviewed as they may indicate errors in your data you must
correct, or warnings that may require your attention. These messages can be reviewed by
selecting Output>Errors or by clicking the Error File tool button. After checking these
messages, you may have to edit your data and rerun the adjustment.
Whenever an adjustment is running, the Run Adjustment tool button changes to a cancel
button, and you can click this button to terminate the processing.
