SINEX Format Checker

May 08, 2009
Based on program "sbuild", by D. A. Lavallee

 

How to check the format of a SINEX file?

  • Insert your email address as the first line of the SINEX file
  • Upload the SINEX file (anonymous ftp) to ftp://omaftp.oma.be/incoming/astro/IAGWG/ (only files with extensions .snx and .SNX are considered)
  • The system will send within 30 min the SINEX validation output to the email address written in the first line of the SINEX file.

 

The checker can produce a lot of output as it follows the SINEX format description quite strictly. The less output, the better the file. If you get "Sbuild completed successfully" at the end of the email, then the program found only minor textual issues.
