IMPACT SPEED This is the speed at which an impactor hits the detector.
IRON ION RISE TIME The rise time of the ion collector signal after the impact of an iron test particle.
EXTRAPOLATION FLAG 1 If the value of the previous column corresponds to an actual measurement, this column is blank. If the value is an extrapolation, this column contains the symbol '*'.
GLASS ION RISE TIME The rise time of the ion collector signal after the impact of a glass test particle.
EXTRAPOLATION FLAG 2 If the value of the previous column corresponds to an actual measurement, this column is blank. If the value is an extrapolation, this column contains the symbol '*'.
CARBON ION RISE TIME The rise time of the ion collector signal after the impact of a carbon test particle.
EXTRAPOLATION FLAG 3 If the value of the previous column corresponds to an actual measurement, this column is blank. If the value is an extrapolation, this column contains the symbol '*'.
IRON ELECTRON RISE TIME The rise time of the electron collector signal after the impact of an iron test particle.
EXTRAPOLATION FLAG 4 If the value of the previous column corresponds to an actual measurement, this column is blank. If the value is an extrapolation, this column contains the symbol '*'.
GLASS ELECTRON RISE TIME The rise time of the electron collector signal after the impact of a glass test particle.
EXTRAPOLATION FLAG 5 If the value of the previous column corresponds to an actual measurement, this column is blank. If the value is an extrapolation, this column contains the symbol '*'.
