RTK Facet ANTEX & ANTINFO files

Hi again,

I noticed on the TOP106 product page that the ANTEX & ANTINFO files exist for the TOP106 antenna. This is great for the RTK Surveyor/RTK Express but do the same files exist for the RTK Facet? Can I just edit these files and change the L1/L2 offsets (as it is supposed to be the same antenna internals)?

I have been generally using the CSRS-PPP site for all my processing. But I would like to try the Trimble CenterPoint RTX PPP service (https://trimblertx.com/) as it supports more GNSS systems. However, the RINEX file has to be in the correct format with the expected header records. Has anyone successfully processed UBX files using the Trimble service, as a how-to would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Mark

Mark, while this doesn’t answer your question, I had a related question a few months back and you might find the reply useful.

The summary was to use the TOP106 ANTEX & ANTINFO files for the Facet (or select SPETOP106 in OPUS) but adjust your instrument height to account for the Facet offset difference from the TOP106.

Apparently the ANTEX & ANTINFO files for the FACET are in progress.

Calibration of the Facet is WIP with no estimate for completion. They’ve got to run three units for multiple days then crunch numbers.

Thanks all for your help on this. Easy workaround, and sounds like the Facet files will be with us at some point.

As I’m in the UK I cannot use OPUS for processing (I’ve been using CSRS-PPP instead). When using CSRS I always notice a good hour of questionable data before I have a usable dataset (see attached report). It’s not the raw data as when chopping off an hour of observations, the issue just gets pushed down the line to the next hour (so it must be at the PPP end).

I just wondered how OPUS or Trimble RTX results look for a similarly logged dataset?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Hmmm looks like Trimble RTX will not work unless it is on their list of supported antennas. Would be intrigued to see if someone can process using both OPUS & CSRS and see if the drift on the latter is still evident…
