XY: Local XY Coordinates

XY: Local XY Coordinates

This record specifies local XY coordinates of a station. It is used to provide initial coordinates or 2DC observations.

Important: Internally, GeoLab treats local x, y coordinates as map projection coordinates relative to the projection selected in the "XY-Record Projection" list in the Options dialog.

This record has two possible formats, a long parameter name format, and a short parameter name format. If column 10 contains an asterisk (*) the long name format is expected, otherwise the short name format is expected.

The short parameter name format is as follows:

Columns 002-005: XY
Columns 007-007: Flag for fixing ellipsoidal latitude
Columns 008-008: Flag for fixing ellipsoidal longitude
Columns 009-009: Flag for fixing ellipsoidal height
Columns 010-010: (blank)
Columns 011-022: Station name
Columns 024-039: x-coordinate (easting)
Columns 041-056: y-coordinate (northing)
Columns 077-078: Linear unit name
Columns 080-085: Network layer of station
Columns 087-137: Description of station

The long parameter name format is as follows:

Columns 002-005: XY
Columns 007-007: Flag for fixing ellipsoidal latitude
Columns 008-008: Flag for fixing ellipsoidal longitude
Columns 009-009: Flag for fixing ellipsoidal height
Columns 010-010: * (asterisk)
Columns 011-041: Station name
Columns 043-058: x-coordinate (easting)
Columns 060-075: y-coordinate (northing)
Columns 096-097: Linear unit name
Columns 099-104: Network layer of station
Columns 106-156: Description of station
