Oscar and Mark,

Counts may be read to an accuracy of 1/2 count. The DOS measurement program allows you to enter counts with any decimal value. However, it will round the counts to the nearest 1/2 count. (i.e. 10000.2 rounds to 10000, 10000.3 rounds to 10000.5, 10000.8 rounds to 10001, etc.) The leftmost column is for display and is not used in the constant calculations.

In the sample report, the text, through the line that starts with "(Sum of Shortest Splits = " was generated by the DOS measurement program. I added the text below, which should have said "shorten the course by 0.06 meters."

The measurer calculated the course as "9.3206 miles" (rather than 15000.00 meters.) Since this was a first time measurer, I did not insist the course be calculated with metric values, or that he calculate to nearest 1/10000 of a mile. I allowed for rounding errors of 0.00005 miles or 0.08 meters.

Thank you. -- Justin
