Like the lwts I'm assuming the height of the clip on optic's objective lens over the bore has to be used for ballistics calculations rather than your normal measurement?
With any clipon, you operate to align the clipon optical center to the day scope optical center (if it isn't already aligned). Hence yes, you (almost) always use the day scope height above bore in your ballistic calculator.

With a normal straight through clip-on yes I can understand that but the lwts is offset similar to a Simrad. Isn't your objective lens effectively where the clip on objective is now?
The UTC also appears to have an offset but does not actually have an offset. I use my same day scope DOPE out to 900yds with no adjustments for the UTC.
For the SIMRAD there is an offset. And you can either dial it, or hold it.
Collimation in the unit takes care of it for UTC-x
... I would assume for LWTS, but you can test it to be sure. Zero day scope at 100yds ... put the lwts on and shoot group at 100yds, if you are hitting low, them collimation not covering.
