NGS "Bluebooking" process for GPS projects

The Adjust & Utilities program suite for GPS projects has been released to production. An update was required to provide new transformation parameters due to the release of the IGS20 geodetic reference frame by the International GNSS Service (IGS). Additionally, updates were required to support the upcoming release of OPUS-Projects 5 which supports real-time kinematic (RTK) data.

This version of Adjust should be used to submit all GPS projects to NGS; projects submitted using previous versions will no longer be accepted after 30 days of this notice.

ADJUST_ALL [2022 Nov 29] Download a zip file with all PC executables, support files and documentation. Does not contain source code files.

DOWNLOADS:
adjust_all.zip contains the Adjust suite of programs for the PC.

ADJUST Performs least squares adjustment on horizontal, vertical angle, and GPS observations.

CHKOBS Checks a horizontal (Vol 1) bluebook observation dataset for correct structure and syntax. Also checks the network and local accuracies.
Now with optional prompts.
Supercedes program newchkobs.

OBSCHK Checks the integrity of the B-file (Horiz bluebook) and G-file.   Obschk is not a complete checking program.  Program chkobs performs additional syntax and structure checks on the B-file and should be run prior to obschk.

OBSDES compares a horizontal Blue Book Description data set with its respective Blue Book Observation data set. OBSDES produces a list of error messages along with the description data set record and observation data set information.

CLUSTER used to identify geodetic stations which are common to two data sets with respect to name or a given position tolerance.

COMPVECS is used to find differences among redundant vectors in a G-file. It requires a horizontal bluebook with *80* position data records.

CR8SER extracts data from Horizontal Blue Book file with GPS observations to create a station serial number file (serfil). A serfil is required for program COMPGB

DIFLATLON finds the difference in position, ellipsoid and orthometric heights for the same station as reported in two horizontal files with *80* and *86* records.

ELEVUP Creates a bfile which combines the bfile output from the constrained horizontal adjustment with the bfile output from the constrained vertical adjustment. This new bfile contains *80* records with adjusted positions from the horizontal and *86* records with the ellipsoidal heights from the horizontal adjustment and the orthometric heights and geoid heights from the vertical adjustment.

MAKE86 which adds *86* records to the bfile. If the existing *80* records contain orthometric heights, these are added to the new *86* records.

PREPLT2 reads ADJUST output file and writes residual components, baseline length, SSNs and designations to an output file in tabular format.

page divider image

F-Test F statistical hypothesis test, a statistical test which helps determine if the variance from a fully constrained adjustment is significantly different from the variance of a minimally constrained adjustment.
