Lateral weir output

Hi there

I am modelling a flood scenario with Basement and I would like to estimate the outflow discharge. For the purpose, I use HYDRAULICS -> SOURCE -> off_channel and define two consecutive cross sections. However, I am struggling to understand the resulting output. What I get is two files, tagged with names CSnameDownSink and CSnameUpSink. While the DownSink file seems to be relative to the downstream section of the weir, the UpSink file carries the name of the cross section further downstream of the downstream end of the weir (see image http://www.dropbox.com/s/bf1tzj4gsxl087j/weir.JPG).

So, how should I interpret the content of the two files? Or maybe I omitted something to be defined within the Output block?

Thank you in advance for your help!
