COLUMNS FORMAT DESCRIPTION DEFAULT VALUE & UNITS
1-6 A6 FORMAT
13-14 I2 Unit number for input of data in the 40
format denoted by the number in column 17
(must be greater than 22 and smaller
than 41)
16 I1 Type of binary data [4] 0
0 - Binary data is old IBM format which
has I*2's and R*4's.
1 - Binary data is new IBM format which
only has I*4's and R*8's.
17 I1 Type of Data Format Indicator [3]
0 - GEODYN binary
1 - 90 byte ASCII Range Rate Data
2 - Merit II SLR Data
3 - GEOS-3 card image - 80 byte format
4 - Extended GEODYN binary (altimetry)
5 - PCE [2]
6 - Extended GEOS-3 card image - 120 byte
format
7 - GPS metric type format
8 - VLBI binary format
24 I1 Time system indicator change
7 Converts time system indicator 7 of modified SSD data
to a 3 (UTC BIH). If this is omitted epoch time scale
will be considered as being ET

TRACKING DATA FORMATTER INPUT CARDS
FORMAT (cont)
NOTE [1]: One format card must be present for every type of data used
in the run, unless only GEODYN binary data is used, then the
unit will default to 40. The data from the different units
will be time merged. One can also use this to merge two sets
of the same type data by inputting each set on a different
unit. No more than 6 FORMAT cards can be input.
NOTE [2]: If PCE data is input then the first card in the data
stream on the logical unit specified by the pertinent FORMAT
card must have a 90 in columns 2 and 3 and the satellite
ID is columns 22-45 (format D24.16). All data following
this card goes with that satellite. If using data from
more than one satellite then insert another such record each
time the satellite ID changes.
NOTE [3]: For a detailed description of the various formats see Volume
5, Section 1.0.
NOTE [4]: This option only applies when the TDF is run on a computer
that allows I*2 and R*4 data formats.
NOTE [5]: Column 17 on this card should be 4 for this option.
