What causes this issue?

The QCI has built-in routines that are used to determine the base
density if a test density and test conditions are entered. Customers
can modify these calculations using Business Add-In methods. If the
AGA c-code routines are active, the value calculated by the QCI or the
customer function will be overwritten with the value calculated by the
AGA routines.
