COLUMNS FORMAT DESCRIPTION DEFAULT VALUE & UNITS
1-6 A6 MAXOBS
7-14 I8 Maximum number of observations allowed 1000 [1]
in one logical block (limit=9999)
(default for PCE data is 500)
18-24 I7 Maximum number of output buffers per 10
logical block.(MAXBUF)
MAXBUF must be less than or equal to 100
and greater than or equal to 10
25-30 I6 Maximum number of scratch buffers in core 200
must be greater than or equal to 5 and
less than or equal to 400. [2]
31-40 D10.3 Bin size in seconds for normal point
calculations. If this is present then a
value greater than zero must be entered
in columns 51-60.
51-60 D10.3 Minimum spacing between data points for
normal point calculation runs. All data
closer than minimum spacing will be discarded.
If this value is present then a value greater
than zero must be entered in columns 31-40.
This value can be overridden for specific
stations and/or measurement types if NORMPT
cards are present.
NOTE [1]: IIS imposes two restrictions on a block of observations. No block
can span a time period that is longer than 10*STEPSIZE, and no
single block of observations from the TDF can be subdivided into
more than 100 blocks in IIS. The number of IIS subdivisions is
given by: IIS subdivisions= Number of observations in a block/
(10*STEPSIZE/time interval between observations). If the number
of IIS subdivisions is greater than 100, the maximum number of
observations per block must be reduced.
NOTE [2]: If this parameter needs to be greater than 400, please contact
the GEODYN Group. The error in TDF if 400 is not enough, reads
"Unit 21, attempt to read past end of record."
