We have updated our differential levelling abstract to automate data import and population of formulae. This version of the abstract is also able to automatically source geodetic mark and reference mark details from GESMAR via SLIP (account required). Sample files of the available field data import formats are available here: Sample1, Sample2 and Sample3.
