Trimble DC file import errors

Hi all,

Just want to make you aware of the issues with importing Trimble DC files into the Survey- Edit-Process Raw Data function. If you import the DC file and allow for it to adjust for Prism Constants, it doesn’t always do it correctly.

If you import take as SDR and DC version 10.7 files and import them into the Edit-Process Raw Data function and then using Tool – Direct-Reverse Report function for both of them, then compare the distances they both output in that report. If you've used multiple constants, such as reflectorless and mini prism and maybe a circle prism, then you'll most likely have errors in your distances.

Work around is to export and reduce an SDR33 file instead of the DC10.7 file.
