The gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC in STEP 1 will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only.

Engineering survey, topographic mapping.
State law defines system in US survey feet. Federal definition is metric - see code 32148. For applications with an accuracy of better than 3 feet, replaced by NAD83(HARN) / SPCS.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (X,Y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: ftUS.
