This table examines the format used in tech files.
Floats with zero profiles will not have conforming tech files because they will lack a Surface Pressure Offset parameter. These are reported in the first row and not examined further.
A list of all non-conforming files for each DAC can be accessed via the Plots Index Tables
No profiles New or Died-on-launch floats that will not have full tech files.
Missing No tech file provided for float.
Old: Old format tech file.
Old - Bad: Old format but no TECHNICAL_PARAMETER_NAME matches any of the old standard Surface Pressure Offset parameter names.
New: New format tech files.
New, Bad format: New format, but no TECHNICAL_PARAMETER_NAME matches expected new Surface Pressure Offset parmeters names.
V2.3: New format and FORMAT_VERSION = "V2.3".
