Latitude latitude
The geodetic latitude of the site (-90..90 degrees).
Altitude altitude
The geodetic altitude of the site above sea level (meters).

Examples:
The following example would set the CBI up for operation at the Owen's Valley Radio Observatory, which is 118 degrees, 16 minutes and 56 seconds west of Grenwich, 37 degrees, 14 minutes and 2 seconds north of the equator, and is at an altitude of 1222 meters above sea level.

Context:
Before the control system can track a source, you must call the site command to tell it where the telescope is located.
