DESCRIPTION
DIFF_par contains parameter values used by the Differential Interferometry Software DIFF. The DIFF_par file contains information on the registration of the two interferograms used, the data section selected and the phase scaling applied to image 2 before it is subtracted from image 1.

The DIFF_par is generated using the program create_diff_par. The user is interactively asked for the input used to describe a DEM. Different projections are supported. The parameters of DIFF_par are used by many of the programs of the DIFF. Some parameters are inserted by programs of the DIFF.

The formats used in DIFF_par are defined in the in DIFF type definition file typedef_DIFF.h.
