Counting Characters

Well, our primary operator of the ROV has bailed on us because of bigger projects, and now I have to come up to speed on the navigation. We have a SPS Trimble GPS that works just fine. The USBL works just fine. The problem is the underlying software that marries the two together. If you know how to do this and can write the code contact me. We can get you up to speed and paid PDQ.

Uh . . . What’d he say??

ROV

SPS Trimble

GPS

USBL

PDQ... well, you guess what that one means.

So you just need something that converts USBL to GPS and back, presumably for the purpose of guiding your Trimble around and tracking its whereabouts?

Bingo, the trouble is the codes do not match between the software. I think we have it fixed now. Tomorrow we get wet and we will see. We should have stuck with Fortran, but I'm the only one that can still program with it. Bummer

Just thank your lucky stars it doesn't run on MUMPS.

^ Let alone MEASLES or RUBELLA

That would be really horrible.
