Subject: [Tempo2] START and FINISH
Message-ID: <19E547FE-A696-4008-B9F0-7C8A0F1F4B52@nrl.navy.mil>

Hi,

I have two questions about START and FINISH

1. Why do par files get written with "1" at the end of those lines? That has bitten me MANY times when I read in new data that gets ignored because it ignores all TOAs outside of the START/FINISH range.

2. Why aren't START/FINISH equal to the first and last TOA?  For some reason they seem to be getting written with a 1-day padding around them. Why 1 day?  This is not always appropriate, depending on the spacing between TOAs.

Thanks,

-- Paul
