It’s been a while since I last wrote on the forum because, honestly, everything has been running smoothly with my RS2 in my daily workflow. I always work with a fixed base in RTK using a data connection, so I’ve never needed to do post-processing… until yesterday!
The survey area had no cell coverage, so I decided to use Emlid Studio to process my corrected points. After following the tutorial (Stop & Go with Emlid Flow | Emlid Studio), the software couldn’t fix the floating points to FIX, and I didn’t get a results file.
I suppose that’s the issue because my data collection mode was set to “Instant.” In that thread, they resolved it by editing the CSV file to add 1 second to the averaging end, but I’m unsure how to do this.
The solution to this issue is in the reply from @kirill.pavlyuchuk that I referenced in my post. I edited the CSV to add 1 second to the “Averaging end,” and by doing so, when processing with the Stop and Go workflow in Emlid Studio, I was able to get the expected results.
To correctly edit the CSV, you need to consider your Windows regional settings. In my case, in Spain, we use commas for decimals, while the CSV uses periods. Therefore, to edit the CSV file in Excel and add 1 second to the time, I had to follow several steps.
In Excel, the commands I used to automatically add 1 second to the time were LEFT, VALUE, and RIGHT to break down the text string in the “Averaging end” cell. Once the 1 second was added, I concatenated the result using the & command.
I saved everything back into a CSV file, and when processing it again, I was able to get all the points in FIX.
If anyone needs an Excel example to make this modification, feel free to message me privately. Cheers!
That’s good to hear you found a solution, and thank you for sharing a detailed explanation—this will definitely be helpful for other users!
Yes, in this cases we advise add one second to the “Averaging end”. We also recommend, before collecting data, avoiding collecting points instantly and instead allowing time for averaging to ensure better accuracy.
Looking at the results I’ve obtained, the final CSV only provides ellipsoidal height and not orthometric height. Is there any way to get it directly without having to perform a subsequent transformation? During data collection, I made sure to indicate the application of a geoid model in the app.
Thank you for your response. Honestly, I wasn’t used to working with Emlid Flow 360 and had always relied on Emlid Studio. This way, I managed to get the corrected points list easily and directly.
