[teqc] TPS conversion problem

[Rui Manuel da Silva Fernandes]

Hi Lou,
     I used teqc to translate hourly files (merged into daily files) from a new 
Topcon NET-G3A receiver. The command that I used is a little bit more complex 
(it is inside a script) but this one should present similar results...
<geodac#/home/gpsdata>teqc BNGL1027*.TPS > BNGL3000.10O
However, I noticed a lot of data gaps:
<geodac#/home/gpsdata>teqc BNGL3000.10O > /dev/null

This repeats for other days and other stations.

In order to try to detect the problem, I also used tps2rin (the tool provided by 
Topcon) to convert the files and the merged file does not show any data gaps. 
So, I really suspect that there is some issue in the raw data (TPS) of the new 
Topcon receivers when translated with teqc. Is this related with the issue that 
you detected last year concerning the Javad/Topcon format?

Thanks,
         Rui
