Accessing the Solution Interface

The Solution Interface can be directly accessed by right-clicking on the network in the Uncertainty Context Manager.

Additional controls also offer the ability to update the existing net- work definition and include:

When the Solution Interface opens, it should look quite familiar in that it is based on the USMN network interface control and offers many of the same options. One advantage you will notice right away is that the point uncertainties are immediately displayed based upon potentially unsolved current context status.

Just like USMN, the contributing instruments or context are shown in the top left panel while the composite points are listed on the right.

The solution summary information and statistics are on the bottom right once the network has been processed by pressing the Solve but- ton. Important notes include:

The Report button will generate a full report in Excel format.

The Apply button can be used to apply the results to the SA job file and build a composite point group using the current solution. This will also update the instrument base covariances with respect to the world frame for all participating instruments.

Like USMN the decision to fix one or more instrument in the list, by un-checking it and preventing them from moving in the solution, will result in the uncertainties propagating outward from those fixed points.
