The Cassini Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument (MIMI) Imaging Neutral Camera (INCA) uncalibrated data set includes all data collected from the MIMI Data Processing Unit during the entire Cassini mission. The data is provided in an uncalibrated form in conjunction with a PDS MIMI calibration volume COMIMI_0000 which provides specific algorithms for the derivation of calibrated data. Data are presented in a set of tables which are of variable length and use a comma to separate various fields. This data set is intended to be the most comprehensive and complete data set included in the Cassini MIMI INCA archive.
A browse data set is included with Key Parameter data that is calibrated using the algorithms provided in the Calibration volume. In addition, a series of images are provided with the KP browse data that displays the KP data which can lead the user to the particular times of interest. This data set should be among the first used by a user of any of the MIMI INCA archive as it will lead one to information required to search for more detailed or highly specialized features in the original data. The Key Parameters data set is not intented for direct use, only as a guide to finding points of interest.
This data set comprises count rates charged and neutral particle imaging measurements for the single telescope of the INCA detector in accumulation and image modes. In addition this data set includes INCA PULSE HEIGHT ANALYSIS measurement data for a statistically select sample of the particle measurements. The standard product ID's are:
INCA Image Data (IIMG0) - count rates binned into a maximum of a 64x64 geometrical grid as an image.
INCA Pulse Height Analysis Data (IPHA0) - Statistically sampled set of discrete particle measurements.
INCA Accumulation Rate Data (IACC0) - telescope count rate measurements

Data products have names of the following form:
ITTTF_YYYYDDD_VVVV.CSV
where
F is an index, starting with 0-9 and continuing to A-Z, that represents the format version of the file.
ITTTF follows the same convention described for directory names above
YYYYDDDHH is the start year and day of year of the data product,
VVVV is a numerical index, starting with 0000, that represents the data version of the file. Data used for testing purposes will set VVVV = 'TEST'
