Lavallee pointed out that in the SITE/ID section of the SINEX 2.01 specification, the I3 allotment for longitude is incompatible with the longitude range [-180:+180]. The SINEX experts are aware of it and will address the situation officially soon. It is likely that the field will simply be changed to I4, since there is room in the line length. I have gone ahead and made this change in the generation of igs.snx, so that users can have some predictable format to use. Please understand that this is not an official change of the SINEX specification at this point, but a local IGS decision. The igs.snx file will follow this specification of the SITE/ID block until further notice: _________________S_I_T_E___I_D___D_A_T_A___L_I_N_E_________________| | | | | |__Field_________|______Description__________________|___Format_____| | | | | | [Site Code] | Call sign for a site. | 1X,A4 | |________________|___________________________________|______________| | | | | | [Point Code] | Physical monument used at a site | 1X,A2 | |________________|___________________________________|______________| | | | | | Unique Monument| Unique alpha-nummeric monument | 1X,A9 | | Identification | identification.
