END: End of Data

This record signifies the end of data (logical end of text file). All data (if any) after this record is ignored by GeoLab.

The format of the END record is as follows:

Columns 002-005: END

Note that the use of the END record is not recommended because sometimes we forget that we have "temporarily" placed an END record in our IOB files, and later wonder why we don't see, for example, a certain set of measurements that are found after the END record.

It is much easier to manage the use of an #include record for each section of our IOB files, and when we wish to temporarily remove (in effect) some data from the files, we simply comment out one or more #include records.
