As most of us aren't used to getting set up to work strictly in an LDP system, there's a number of things that maybe aren't especially clear about how to get Carlson set up. We're used to using a ground-to-grid scale, or maybe a localization file.
The end-goal of an LDP is that neither a scale nor a localization is necessary. The only conversion is from Lat/Long to local North/East. Scale, rotation and coordinate conversion is all handled solely by the projection parameters.
A quick how-to for getting set up and working in the LDP is here.
