Quantity List doesn't contain fromdepth or todepth. But only depth.

Btw with "calibrate depth 0 -1" there is no error while compiling.

</div>But you use fromdepth and todepth as quantity. Shouldn’t it be calibrate fromdepth todepth 4 -1 ?

<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">*calibrate is used to specify instrument calibrations, via a zero error and a scale factor. By default, the zero error is 0.0 and the scale factor 1.0 for all quantities. </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';"><quantity> is one of TAPE|COMPASS|CLINO|COUNTER|DEPTH|DECLINATION|X|Y|Z </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">Several quantities can be given in <quantity list> - the specified calibration will be applied to each of them. </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">You need to be careful about the sign of the ZeroError. Survex follows the convention used with scientific instruments - the ZeroError is what the instrument reads when measuring a reading which should be zero. So for example, if your tape measure has the end missing, and you are using the 30cm mark to take all measurements from, then a zero distance would be measured as 30cm and you would correct this with: </span></p>
<pre class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 9.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusMonL'; vertical-align: -2.000000pt;"> *</span><span class="" style="font-size: 9.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusMonL';">CALIBRATE tape +0.3
</span></pre>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">If you tape was too long, starting at -20cm (it does happen!) then you can correct it with: </span></p>
<pre class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 9.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusMonL'; vertical-align: -2.000000pt;"> *</span><span class="" style="font-size: 9.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusMonL';">CALIBRATE tape -0.2
</span></pre>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">Note: ZeroError is irrelevant for Topofil counters and depth gauges since pairs of readings are subtracted. </span></p>

<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-family: NimbusRomNo9L; font-size: 10pt;">In the first form in the synopsis above, the zero error is measured by the instrument itself (e.g. reading off the number where a truncated tape now ends) and any scale factor specified applies to it, like so:</span></p>

<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">Value = ( Reading - ZeroError ) * Scale (Scale defaults to 1.0) </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">In the second form above (supported since Survex 1.2.21), the zero error has been measured externally (e.g. measuring how much too long your tape is with a ruler) - the units of the zero error are explicitly specified and any scale factor isn’t applied to it: </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">Value = ( Reading * Scale ) - ZeroError (Scale defaults to 1.0) </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">If the scale factor is 1.0, then the two forms are equivalent, though they still allow you to differentiate between how the zero error has been determined. </span></p>
<p class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'NimbusRomNo9L';">With older Survex versions, you would specify the magnetic declination (difference between True North and Magnetic North) by using *calibrate declination to set an explicit value (with no scale factor allowed). Since Survex 1.2.22, it’s recommended to instead use the new *declination command instead - see the documentation of that command for more details. </span></p>
