#hp_angles
#deg_angles
#dms_angles
These commands specify the angle format used for subsequent horizontal angle, zenith distance, azimuth, and projection bearing data. #hp_angles specifies that the angles will be represented in the format commonly used by Hewlett-Packard calculators. This is as a single number representing degrees by the digits before the decimal place, minutes by the two digits after the decimal places, and seconds by the next two digits. Additional digits are the decimal part of the seconds (i.e. DDD.MMSSss). #dms_angles specifies that angles are represented as three numbers, the degrees, minutes, and seconds separated by spaces (i.e. DDD MM SS.ss). #deg_angles specifies that the angles will be entered as decimal degrees (DDD.ddddd). By default the #dms_angles format is used.
If the error of angle observations is entered explicitly for each observation then this option also applies to the units of the angle error. If #deg_angles is specified the errors are in degrees. If #dms_angles is specified the errors are in seconds.
This option does not affect angle observation errors specified with error commands such as #ha_error, #zd_error.
