SATANNOT

Image annotation description file.

The satellite description text information in this binary file is displayed as text annotation when a satellite image is loaded onto a display device.

Each 80-character record contains the following:

Satellite name, in columns 1 to 19
Band specifier code, if applicable, in column 20
Sensor source number, in columns 30 and 31

For image annotation description file Application Program Interfaces (APIs), refer to the API functions list at the end of this section.

File size depends on the number of satellite description entries and is computed by (20*number of entries) words. For example, two entries may look like this:

Columns 1 to 19	Column 20	Columns 30 and 31
GOES-7 IR	D	33
NOAA-10	K	60

This file is supplied with McIDAS-X.
