A couple of years ago Mark Sims wrote concerning how Lady Heather gets the desired precision of stored location even though the Thunderbolt firmware only allows writing the location directly using single precision: "Once the precise position has been calculated, it issues single point survey commands to the receiver until one just happens to lie within one foot of the calculated position."
That seems like it could take an arbitrary amount of time. How can you tell when Lady Heather is satisfied with the position and has saved it as the final location? I moved my antenna recently so I ran a new 48 hour precision survey this weekend. The 48 hour portion should have finished last night, but the display still looks the same, so I'm not sure that it has finished the "keep surveying until the position happens to be within one foot of the averaged position" part yet. I need to move my laptop elsewhere, but I don't want to shut it down too early by mistake and lose the 48 hours of survey work already done. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
