STAR*NET V6 - Circe

Chapter 8 Analysis of Adjustment Output
8.3 Summary of Files Used and Options Settings
The first few lines of the listing file identify the version of STAR*NET that you are
using, and your licensing information. If you need to contact Starplus Software for
technical assistance, you may be asked for this information. The exact time and date of
the run is shown, so that you can keep track of multiple runs of the same project.
The project name, project folder and names of all input data files used in the adjustment
are listed next.
Last comes a summary of the option settings that were in effect at run time. These
settings are important to have documented in the output listing file because many of
these settings, such as default standard errors, refraction index, and instrument or target
centering errors, directly affect your results. Note that when standard errors are changed
to an Instrument Library setting by use of an “.INSTRUMENT” inline option in your
data, these standard error settings are also shown in this section.
8.4 Listing of Input Data Files (Optional)
This section of the listing file is a direct line by line copy of your input data files. This
can be useful for historical documentation purposes, because it contains all of your input
data plus any comments you included in your data when it was prepared. This section is
optional, and normally you will include it only for documentation or debugging
purposes.
8.5 Adjustment Solution Iterations (Optional)
STAR*NET will optionally list the coordinate changes for each iteration in the
adjustment. This option is normally used only for analyzing an adjustment that has large
errors and will not converge. In that situation, it may be useful to track the coordinate
changes at each iteration to see if some clue to the problem can be found. For normal
runs, you usually will not want to see this information.
