I’m working on the dataset again with my friend.
We’ve found that the survex model uses a compass calibration in some places and are trying to work out if this needs transposing across to the therion model.
But in the process I have found out that when we give therion a compass reading it’s always taking off 0.9 to 1 degree from the reading given in the .th data.
I’ve just run changes to entrance-boulder in both therion and survex. Below results just for first leg 1-2
No date+compass calib= 133.6 deg survex// 132.6 deg therion
Date + no compass calib=131.0 deg survex// 130.1 deg therion
No date+no compass calib=131 deg survex// 130deg therion
Date + compass calib=133.6 deg survex// 132.7 deg therion
So clearly therion is correcting the data 1[] 2[] 13.4[] 131[] 10.0
By always taking one degree off the compass irrespective of what we tell it.
(For information: When calibration used survex= *calibrate compass -2.65 // therion= calibrate compass 357.35)
Does anyone have any ideas where therion is pulling this 1 degree correction from?

HI Tarquin and Andrew,
Many thanks for that, We were just lost, I think we'll be able to pick it up from here with your helpful guidance. Should just be a case of looking through the .th files and looking for all the 90's
I hope you are both well.

As a point to note -90 and Down at treated differently for clino
correction, they can be treated ed the same
From the survex manual
"*infer plumbs on" tells cavern to interpret gradients of +/- 90
degrees as UP/DOWN (so it will not apply the clino correction to them).
This is useful when the data has not been converted to have UP and DOWN
