Hi Tiffany

1. The amplitude is implicit how its plotted (as a + or - sign) in CAVE and 
what "unknown" title in the product stack it will then fall under. But removing 
the - sign will always have it plotted/listed as +. I will try the other 
pattern and let you know what happens.

2. As for the pqact entry here it is... its pretty generic.

# NLDN
LIGHTNING LIGHTNING
