It works.
  • STAR*NET is the easiest Least Squares Adjustment package to use and understand.
  • Using Least Squares makes you more money by allowing more flexibility in how your crews collect measurements.
  • The results are clear and simple and have been used by surveyors around the world for more than 20 years.

 

It integrates data easily.
  • Conventional total station measurements can be easily mixed with GPS vectors and leveling data.
  • Different instruments can be mixed on the same job with wide variations of atmospheric conditions. Do part of the job in the summer and part in the winter. Let STAR*NET compensate for the accuracy change.
Input files are simple to work with and understand.
  • The STAR*NET dat input file can be created by many software packages. Records are one per line and can be edited with any text editor.
  • Input data can be entered in any order. Your crews can survey from both ends and meet in the middle. No manipulation of the data is necessary.
  • Input data can be entered in any order. Your crews can survey from both ends and meet in the middle. No manipulation of the data is necessary.
Results are clear and reliable.
  • STAR*NET results are well formatted for quick review.
  • The Sum of Squares, Error Factors, and Chi-Square test are sensitive to the inputs and give excellent feedback on what needs to be done to improve your results.
  • Reports offer tremendous flexibility so they make sense to you and only include what you want.
  • Blunders and errors are quickly spotted.
It gives you confidence in your work.
  • Geo-referencing your surveys is much easier. Reports output both Geodetic and Ground coordinates with combined scale factors.
  • STAR*NET produces the ALTA – NSPS results you need for your surveys.
  • “The Positional Uncertainty of any physical point on a survey, whether the location of that point was established using GPS or conventional surveying methods, may be computed using a minimally constrained, correctly weighted least squares adjustment of the points on the survey.” – from the ALTA – NSPS Land Title Surveys 2011 requirements. 
It has data converters for all types of formats.
  • Designed for converting raw data from various data collection packages into STAR*NET data format
  • Converters are available for most data formats including TDS, Carlson, TSC (Trimble), SMI, and a variety of levels including Topcon and Leica.
  • Even some hardware manufacturers (Leica, Trimble & others) have recognized the benefit of offering conversion utilities for converting data into STAR*NET .DAT format.
MicroSurvey STAR*NET Data Conversion Utilities

:: MicroSurvey STAR*NET Data Conversion Utilities

STAR*NET includes several conversion utilities designed for converting raw data from various data collection packages into STAR*NET data format.

Notes: A separate license is required to run each of the conversion utilities. Currently there is no demo mode for conversion utilities.

Additionally, some hardware manufacturers have created their own conversion utilities for converting data into STAR*NET .DAT format, including:

Of course, many desktop applications also have a command to export data in STAR*NET .DAT format, including:

  • MicroSurvey CAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
  • MicroSurvey inCAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
  • MicroSurvey embeddedCAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
  • PointCloud CAD (MsTraverse | StarNet Interface)
  • Carlson Survey (CGTrav | Create Star*Net File)
  • Trimble Geo Office
  • and many, many others – check with your software manufacturer for details!
