Wrong information in xmagpy regarding dialogue "Open input sheet"? #127

In xmagpy you can choose DI->Open input sheet... There you fill in the values from an absolute measurement. At the bottom you fill in the scalar values. Here it seems to be an issue. You have an input field "F base (nT)" where you fill in the base value (aka pillar difference). Then you have an input field where you fill in the total fields values for each of the theodolite observations. In the title of that input field it is written "Time,Value(+Base)". For me it seems then that the values should be with the base value (pillar difference) added. But when you save the data it adds "F base (nT)"-value to those values in "Time,Value(+Base)". So I think the title then should be "Time,Value" only. The value of the total field should be without base value added because it's added when you save the data as I mentioned above. Have I misunderstood something? gui_add_di_data

You are perfectly right. We will update the labels in the next version to make it clear.
