Figure 125 : StarFire QuickStart Dialog Box
Refer to Figure 125 for the options below:
 Position: Use only a fully converged solution at 10cm. If known, the coordinates may be
entered manually.
 The input Quick Start position defaults to the current ITRF datum which is system in use by
the StarFire network. Click the Select the Datum button to choose the either ITRF or WGS-
84 as Quick Start input position datum. If the wrong coordinate datum is selected, the Quick
Start position will have a bias error which can take up to one and half hours to filter out.
 Click the Use Current Solution button to retrieve the current navigation solution from the
PVT1B message. Only use this option when the solution is fully converged.

It is best to retrieve the current navigation solution at the end of the day to use as
the next day’s starting position. Write down the retrieved information.

converged solution.

mode.
