NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY
Test new features in BETA OPUS Projects 5.0
Users can now upload GNSS vectors into OPUS projects, including vectors derived from either a single-base real-time kinematic (RTK) setup or from a real-time network (RTN), for evaluation, quality assessment, and inclusion in a GNSS survey network for least squares adjustment.
Use the new GNSS Vector Exchange (GVX) file format to transfer data from various manufacturer hardware to OPUS Projects 5.0.
Getting started:
- Use sample data that are available online and in the GVX file format.
- Talk to your vendor about converting your own GNSS vector data to the GVX file format.

OPUS-Projects for RTK/RTN Vectors
NGS is developing OPUS-Projects so that GNSS vectors, including those from real-time kinematic (RTK) surveys, can be uploaded to a survey network for least-squares adjustment and submittal to NGS for publication. This has required developing a standardized GNSS vector exchange format known as GVX.
