BACKSIGHT CHECK and CHECK ANGLE routines in SurvCE are broken.
#1 They don't trigger a new HI line in the raw file, so you get the RodHt used (often won't be the BS!).
#2 They record in the raw file "new" observations to the BS which were not taken (the true readings are in a note).
RESOLUTION: Do not record ANY observation, only notes. This is a check feature, it's not a reading and is only screwing things up the way it is working now, especially any weighting of a least squares adjustment.
A fix for this should be issued immedeately, this is a bad deal.
Take care,
Rich
