This file is too large for import into Excel in one segment. I have segmented the file into 3 comma-delimited files for easy export into Excel or other spreadsheet application which supports delimited files. They can also be opened with a simple text editor. The extra page headers have been removed and the time stamps from the time blocks completed for each return. Although an azimuth anomaly has been detected, no correction has been applied to the raw data values in these files.
