AZIM: Azimuth Observation

This record specifies an astronomic azimuth observation. Azimuths are measured at the at-station clockwise from either north (default) or south (see below), to the to-station.

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: AZIM
Columns 007-009: Sigma record identifier (see the SIGM record)
Columns 010-010: (blank)
Columns 011-022: Unique station name of from-station
Columns 024-035: Unique station name of to-station
Columns 050-050: North (n/N/space) or south (s/S) reference for azimuth observation
Columns 051-053: Degrees of azimuth observation
Columns 055-056: Minutes of azimuth observation
Columns 058-064: Seconds of azimuth observation
Columns 066-075: Standard deviation of azimuth observation (seconds)

The long parameter name format is as follows:

Columns 002-005: AZIM
Columns 007-009: Sigma record identifier (see the SIGM record)
Columns 010-010: * (asterisk)
Columns 011-041: Unique station name of from-station
Columns 043-073: Unique station name of to-station
Columns 075-075: North (n/N/space) or south (s/S) reference for azimuth observation
Columns 076-078: Degrees of azimuth observation
Columns 080-081: Minutes of azimuth observation
Columns 083-089: Seconds of azimuth observation
Columns 091-100: Standard deviation of azimuth observation (seconds)
