Hi Victor!
Actually, they can do DMS. From page 22 of the manual:
"All four applications are similar in handling and request
inputting of the calibration points you have noted down.
Simply enter the values as requested on the screen.
Position values may be entered either as decimal degrees,
degrees and decimal minutes, or as degrees, minutes and
decimal seconds."
The only place you need decimal degree format is in
the default starting position fields of the afterScript.
Cheers,
