a good old problem. Do we fill in "Demand values" or "Measured values"?
As "demand values" will probably not help in any analysis of true data,
one would rather like to have "measured values". But then I wonder why
human beings have to do it (as a source of mistakes) and why it can't be
automized. Or we'd better have both DV and MV in this list.
An angle of -1.4 could be recognized as "parallel" e.g. by the comparison
abs(theta) < 2.
