First Non-Header Record Contains Field Name

The Calculator will search the point file for header records using all the criteria specified in the settings. At the first occurrence of data that is not considered header information (based on the users criteria), the Calculator will use that data for naming the fields (columns).  

Example:  

The user has specified that all header records begin with <HEADER> and has chosen First Non-Header... to assign the field names.

<HEADER> Header info

<HEADER> Header info

<HEADER> Header info

PT#, NORTHING, EASTING, ELEV

100, 3000, 3000, 5

101, 3010, 3005, 2.4

102, 2929, 3001, 4.5

etc.

The grid column names will be assigned as follows:

Column 1 = PT#

Column 2 = NORTHING

Column 3 = EASTING

Column 4 = ELEV
