XYZ: XYZ Coordinates

This record specifies geocentric Cartesian coordinates of a station. It can be used to provide initial coordinates, or to provide 3DC and 3DD observations.

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: XYZ
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 024-041: X-coordinate
Columns 043-060: Y-coordinate
Columns 062-079: Z-coordinate
Columns 081-082: Linear unit name
Columns 084-089: Network layer of station
Columns 091-141: Description of station

The long parameter name format is as follows:

Columns 002-005: XYZ
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 043-060: X-coordinate
Columns 062-079: Y-coordinate
Columns 081-098: Z-coordinate
Columns 100-101: Linear unit name
Columns 103-108: Network layer of station
Columns 110-160: Description of station
