Description
Summary:The general form of a station equation does not produce a constant relationship between the ahead station number and the back station number. For this reason, station equations are considered only in the most sophisticated application programs, if at all. It is the intent of this article to present and describe several programming concepts that will simplify the consideration of station equations in application programs. In addition, several auxiliary subroutines will also be presented.
