Edit-Process Raw File

[DLS]

Hi Carlson Software,

I have not seen this message posted probably because of the newly formed
newsgroups that I was not aware of.

Here it goes again:

I am familiarizing myself with the "Edit-Process Raw File" of the COGO menu
of Carlson Survey 99 to adjust a 4-sided polygon traverse with 2 adjacent
points as control points. In the raw file, I have created the following
records in the order as listed:

1) two PT records (for control points P4 & P5)
2) one BK record (Oc pt is P5 and P4 the backsight point)
3) one TR record (P5 to 1)
4) one TR record (1 to 2)
5) one CL record (2 to 3 - pt correponding to P4)
6) one AB reocd (3 to 4 - pt corresponding to P5)

With P4 as the closing reference point and the line from P4 to P5 the
reference closing angle, are these records correct?

Also, before I actually run Process/Compass, do I have to run first
Process/No
Adjustment? I ask because I always get a message saying P4 has no easting.

Also when balancing angles before actual adjustment, should not the program
check if the angles balance after applying the correction? I noticed that it
just divides the angle misclosure by the number of angles and distribute the
individual corrections (which agrees with the manual). In my case, the
angles did not balance when the corrections were rounded to the nearest
second.

Lastly, while in the "Edit-Process Raw File" session, I notice that another
command it seems is being executed in the command line window and after
finishing the session, the command window is prompting me for something? And
when I try to cancel by pressing the ESC key, I fail at which point Carlson
Survey does not respond anymore and I have to force it to close via Windows
Program Manager?
