Baseline specification (.baseline) files are ASCII text files thatcontain the baseline model information (3-vector baseline and bias)used by the real-time system to generate delay line targets. Thisfile contains only a single data line:

BASELINE: ../../../2002 0.00 E: 51.703989 N: 67.455287 U: 0.001524 C: 40.51 KI_K1K2

A # as the leading character signifies a comment line.

The line contains the following space-delimited fields:
