    Dear Mr. Georgiev,

    The answer is actually quite obvious when one understands what is involved.

    Data the operator inputs is editible because it is the operator who may have made an error.

    Data collected by the instrument is not editible because the operator is NOT the instrument.

    The instrument observed what it did. It is not prejudiced and (if well calibrated) not error prone.

    If the wrong HI was entered that can be edited.

    If you want the distance to be different than observed by the device - sorry, Charlie.

    I hope that helps explain it.

    You can change target heights, point names, prism constants, etc,  but I don't believe you can alter raw measurement data.  Why would you want to?  What are you trying to accomplish?

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
