After entering a curve into the traverse tool the direction of the next direction changes after I enter it.
This one isn't a huge difference but it will not match the plat.
Is there something I can adjust so I do not have to stop COGOing after any curve.

I can reproduce what you are seeing. The exit tangent direction is off by 3 seconds.
You can often use ArcLength, Chord Length or a delta angle.
Assuming they are all computed properly and free of any blunder, each of those curve parameters contains some type of rounding error. The combination of a radius with chord length might amplify rounding errors. If you have the delta angle exposed in the curve table, you can try to use it and see if you get a better result.
Otherwise, you will have to modify the computed exit tangent to match the recorded value.
