Is it worth the cost? Is it the best adjustment package out there? I have also heard that it gives more optimistic error ellipses than most adjustment packages as well.

Let me know if I am wrong on any of these assertions.Īnyways, I am contemplating getting STAR*NET, but at a cost of over $2000 (if you get the Pro version with the converters) it seems a bit steep. Also, it seems that you are restricted to the Carlson TLV leveling file format (which I don't like very much) for leveling data. For example, I don't think you can enter just a stand alone angle, distance or delta elevation record into SurvNET, I think it has to be incorporated into a Carlson RW5 raw file of which I don't think those are options. Maybe I don't know all of the ins and outs of SurvNET, but it doesn't seemed to be as flexible as STAR*NET (as I remember it from the DOS days). I notice that you can adjust GPS Vectors with it as well, but I haven't used that feature very much.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Free 30 day demo is available here.I currently am running Carlson SurvNET that comes with my Carlson Survey software package and it works OK for the conventional stuff (standard HVD data). The statistics are easy to understand and the graphical display makes it easy to tighten up your surveys. It is usable by nearly anyone in the industry, regardless of their existing hardware and software. STAR*NET is the most comprehensive software of its kind.


The more accuracy that is required of the survey, the more inconsistencies we will see in the results. Often, the accuracy that we want to achieve is beyond the capabilities of us as human beings and the instruments we use to measure.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to measure physical qualities perfectly. It is a Surveyor’s duty to take great care in their measurements with the end goal of producing results with maximum precision.

This article is intended to explain the concept of a “Least Square Adjustment” in an easy-to-understand way and offer a brief explanation of STAR*NET’s features. I often have clients ask me about our STAR*NET software.
