Subject: [SLR-Mail] No. 1154: Software for checking Normal points at the stations From: Philip Gibbs ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2003-11-28 11:46:00 UTC Message No. 1154 ******************************************************************************** Author: Philip Gibbs Subject: Software for checking Normal points at the stations At the recent meeting in Wettzell, Georg Kirchner announced that I would make a program available which would do some integrity checks on NPs at the station. The program and template for setting station parameters to be used by the software (along with the Herstmonceux data file as an example) are available at ftp://mtuftp.nmt.ac.uk/nercslr/software Each station should then edit the template and include upper and lower values for Pressure,Temperature,Humidity,Calibration RMS and Calibration values, and also the wavelength(s). For each individual satellite, stations should know and insert upper and lower limits for RMS and also set a minimum number of points/NP It is hoped that using this program (or any similar code) will greatly reduce the amount of erroneous data arriving at the data centres. Should anyone have any problems with the software they should feel free to contact me. Attached below is the template ! ! template for input data file for checking normal points ! ! ............. station data applicable to all satellites !
