This directory contains the PLS Browse data set which is a set of spectra from selected ion and electron detectors (P2, P4, P6, E4) and energy ranges. The data are provided in a simple tabular format as separate ASCII files (95341_??.TAB). The "94341" in the file name represents the year and day-of-year that the data was taken, specifically December 7, 1995. Each data file is described by a detached PDS label. Since the structure of the three ion detector files is identical, except for which detector is acquiring the data, the format of these files is included in a separate file (PLS_ION.FMT) rather than repeating the information in each of the label files.

Additional information about these data is available in the data set catalog file GO_PLS_BROWSE_DS.CAT which is located in the CATALOG directory off the root of this disk. Information on the instrument can be found in the Space Science Reviews instrument paper which is located in the DOCUMENT/PLS directory.
