Yes.  You need to specify extended regular expressions that match
USPLN products for the USPLN action(s) and NLDN products for
NLDN action(s).

Here, for instance are example pattern actions that show extended regular
expressions that will discriminate between USPLN and NLDN products:

################################################################################
# GEMPAK Point source decoders
#
# NLDN lightning data
LIGHTNING       
^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
        PIPE    dcnldn -m 25000 -b 30 -s minute05
        -d data/gempak/logs/dcnldn.log
        -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables
        data/gempak/nldn/YYYYMMDDHHNN_nldn.gem
#
# USPLN lightning data
# NAPLN1EX-2009_11_10_21_42_00.dat
LIGHTNING       GLN
        PIPE    dcuspln -m 25000 -b 30 -s minute05
        -d data/gempak/logs/dcuspln.log
        -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables
        data/gempak/uspln/YYYYMMDDHHNN_uspln.gem

Cheers,

Tom
