STAR*NET V6 - Circe

3.8 Checking the Error File
Chapter 3 Using STAR*NET
When STAR*NET encounters problems during the adjustment run, it lists a message in
the “Processing Summary” Window that errors or warnings were detected. To view this
error file, choose Output>Errors, or press the Errors tool button. Based on what the
error file says, you may need to change one of the project options or edit an input data
file to correct a data error, and then rerun the adjustment.
The error file viewed below shows that typing errors were found in two lines of a data
file. In the first case, a non-numeric character was found in an elevation value. In the
second case, an invalid horizontal angle was found - the “minutes” value is too large.
Whenever possible, STAR*NET tries to show you where the error is by printing a line of
asterisks “*******” over to a bad character or to an illegal value.
For a listing of the common error and warning messages you might encounter, see
Appendix-D, “Error and Warning Messages.”
3.9 Editing Input Data Files
To edit your data files, or to add additional data files, use the Input Data dialog as
described in “Creating Input Data Files” earlier in this section.
This dialog allows you edit any file by pressing the Edit button or by simply doubleclicking
the file name. The dialog also allows you to add or remove data files from the
list, and to rearrange their order. You can also “uncheck” a data file which means it
remains part of the project, but will not be read for the next adjustment run.
Shortcut! To edit the currently highlighted file in the data files list without opening the
data files dialog, simply right-click the Input Data Files tool button. (The tool-tip for that
button indicates what file will be edited.)
