10. Our next step is to review the input data. Choose Input>Data Files, or press the
Input Data Files tool button. In this dialog you can add data files to your project,
remove files, edit and view them, or rearrange their position in the list. The order of
the list is the order files are read during an adjustment. You can also “uncheck” a file
to temporarily eliminate it from an adjustment – handy when debugging a large
project containing many files. This simple project includes only one data file.
View the highlighted data file by pressing the “View” button. A window opens up so
you can scroll through a file of any size. Take a minute to review the data and then
close the window when finished. If you wish, you can see how to edit the file by
pressing the “Edit” button, or by simply double-clicking the file name in the list.
However, don’t make any editing changes now.
Press “OK” to exit the dialog.
11. Run the adjustment! Choose Run>Adjust Network, or press the Run Adjustment
tool button. A Processing Summary window opens to show the progress.

When the adjustment finishes, a short
statistical summary is shown in the
progress window indicating how each
type of data fit the adjustment. The total
error factor is shown, and an indication
whether the Chi Square Test passed, a test
on the “goodness” of the adjustment.
After adjusting a network, you normally
want to view the plot, or review the
adjustment listing.
We’ll view the network plot next.
