Review outliers and solve the station again

4 Nov 2026 · Station adjustment

Deactivate the rounds the adjustment flags, compare the statistics, and undo if the station got worse.

After a solve, an observation whose absolute standardized residual is above the threshold is an outlier. The threshold is Outlier Threshold on the station, and the default is 3.0.

Phase 1 — the checklist

  1. Select the station.
  2. Choose Solve > Deactivate Outliers & Re-solve.
  3. Read the list. It is sorted with the worst R first. Each row shows the type (HZ, VZ or SD), the point, the cycle, Face Left and Face Right, the average, the residual and the R value.
  4. Every outlier is ticked. Clear the tick on a round you want to keep.
  5. Click Deactivate Selected. Cancel leaves the station as it was.

Phase 2 — before and after

The dialog then shows S², the standard deviation, the maximum residual and the observation count, each with the value before, the value after, and the change.

  • Undo turns those observations back on, solves again, and returns to the checklist.
  • Review New Outliers opens the checklist again when the new solution flags different rounds. That chain stops after 5 passes.
  • Close keeps the result.

The station tree updates its S value when the dialog closes.
