| Default Value | None |
The identifier resource is used to specify station identifiers to the program when a program needs to parse or decode a specific station. A list of stations can be provided separated by commas. The station identifier resource has the ability to parse for more than a list of stations. Here is a list of keywords:
- Name=station_name -- This can be used to parse for the station
name (column 1) out of the city dabase file. An example would be "
name=cleveland". The names can be abbreviated. The program uses the first one that matches. - ST=state -- This uses the name of the state. If the
state is 2 characters, it is the state abbreviation such as "
ST=PA". If it is 5 characters, it is the state and country, such as "ST=MN_US". - CN=country -- This uses the 2 character name of the country
such as "
CN=DL" for Germany. - ID=ident -- This uses the 3 or 4 letter identifier (ICAO). The "ID=" can be omitted.
- Ra<lat,lon,range -- This uses all stations that are within range km of the specified center point lat,lon.
- P=prior -- This uses all stations that have exactly that priority.
- P<prior -- This uses all stations that have that priority or less. This is the equivalent of specifying the stat_prior resource.
- P>prior -- This uses all stations that have that priority or greater.
- Lat<latitude -- This uses all stations that have a latitude less than or equal to latitude.
- Lat>latitude -- This uses all stations that have a latitude greater than or equal to latitude.
- Lon<longitude -- This uses all stations that have a longitude less than or equal to longitude.
- Lon>longitude -- This uses all stations that have a longitude greater than or equal to longitude.
- Elev<elevation -- This uses all stations that have an elevation less than or equal to elevation.
- Elev>elevation -- This uses all stations that have an elevation greater than or equal to elevation.
- WMO=wmo -- This uses the station with this WMO number.
- WMO<wmo -- This uses all stations that have an WMO number less than or equal to wmo.
- WMO>wmo -- This uses all stations that have an WMO number greater than or equal to wmo.
