These data are derived from high time resolution raw data that were recorded to tape and then played back later in the orbit. There are two basic types of data files associated with the full-rate reduced data: Detector Count Rates and Events (Pulse Heights). Both types of files set are stored as ASCII tables, where the file parameters are functions of time. Appropriate information concerning the operation of the instrument can be found in Garrard, Gehrels and Stone, Space Sci. Rev., 60, 305, 1992 [GARRARDETAL1992]. This data set is highly discontinuous in time. Because of the severe limitations in the downlink capability of the Galileo spacecraft, LPW rate data were recorded only for targeted observations. Most of these data were acquired near the Galilean moons, although selected observations were made in various locations around the magnetosphere. Table 1 below provides a listing of the start and stop times of the recorded data segments, organized according to. where the data were acquired. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Table 1.

The rate files are a level 3 product where the instrument counting rates have been converted into units of counts/second and are given at full time resolution. The event files are a level 3 product where the event data has been extracted from the data stream, a nuclear charge (Z) of each event has been calculated along with the appropriate livetime and geometry factor. The energy deposited in each of three detectors is also given in MeV. Every 2 seconds the HIC instrument zeros the rate counters and begins accumulation. One event per minor frame is selected (based on a priority scheme) and transmitted to the spacecraft along with 2 - 3 rates. Some of the less important / scientifically interesting rates are subcommutated and thus only transmitted once every 16 HIC packets (1 HIC packet equals 3 minor frames equals 2 seconds). The data, with 2 second time resolution, consists of (up to) 3 events and 8 rates. The different rates respond to different energy ranges. These are given in MeV/nucleon (for oxygen) below: Rate Energy Range (MeV/nuc for oxygen) ---------------------------------------------------------- single LET E rates LE1 15.1 - 25.3 LE2 14.9 - 176.0 LE3 15.4 - 192.0 LE4 17.9 - 177.0 LE5 44.8 - 185.0 coincidence LET E rates DUBL 17.0 - 18.0 TRPL 18.0 - 24.0 WDSTP 30.0 - 48.0 WDPEN 48.0 - 185.0 single LET B rates LB1 1.9 - 5000.0 LB2 1.9 - 7000.0 LB3 2.1 - 13000.0 LB4 16.6 - 95000.0 coincidence LET B rates LETB 4.8 - 17.5 The rate data can be converted to fluxes using the geometry factors given in the technical document included on this CD.

A check was implemented in the ground event processing to determine the correct tag for a given event based on the returned pulse heights. An extended set of event types (given below) were created to indicate those events which were originally mistagged. For these events no Z (nuclear charge) or livetime value is determined. It is possible to group the events, based on the pulse heights, into 3 basic compositional categories (S, Na or S, and O or Na or S).

However, the spacecraft trajectory and attitude data, and the As-run Spacecraft Events Files that are provided on the same archive volume as these data are useful ancillary products for users of the HIC data. Coordinate System: ================== These are scalar data. Software: ========= There is no software provided with this archive. Media/Format: ============= Event Data: ----------- The Event data are stored as a simple ASCII data table. The first 18 lines of the original data file consisted of a header that has been moved to the PDS label (file and data info sections). The header contains summary information describing the 12 columns of data. The summary includes: - Count of adjustments by event type - Occasionally portions of data required for processing at this level is missing from instrument records. In these cases a default 'livetime' value has been supplied. The number of times this 'adjustment' was performed is reported by event type. - Count of events by event type - Event TYPE values that fall within the set (see below for explanation of the set) of expected values are counted. The accumulated count of these events are reported here by event type. - Number of bad event types - Only certain values are expected in the TYPE field. Event TYPE values falling outside the set of expected values are counted. The accumulated count of these events are reported here. Each data line consists of a PDS date/time string, an spacecraft clock (SLK) counter string and 10 numeric fields. These fields are all floating point with the exception of the 'DateTime', 'SCLK' and 'TYPE' columns. The data are contained in ASCII format. The columns are in the following order: Column Heading Contents Format Example ------- -------- ------ ------- DateTime Spacecraft Event Time (SCET) in UTC, derived from PB (Playback) level0 telemetry header data format: %4d-%02d-%02dT%02s:%02d:%06.3f example: 1995-12-07T15:30:08.439Z SCLK Spacecraft clock from %07ld:%02ld:0:0 3497588:00:0:0 raw telemetry header TYPE Telescope ID with which the %2d 23 event is associated.

Please direct any questions regarding the generation or interpretation of the data to PDS_OPERATOR@jpl.nasa.gov. Specific: ========= During the J0 orbit the coincidence requirement for the LETB rate was cycled from requiring 3 detectors to requiring 2 detectors to requiring only 1 detector to be triggered. This changes the energy threshold of the rate from 6.5 to 4.8 to 2.4 MeV/nucleon. The times of the coincidence requirement changes are given below: Time Coincidence Requirement (changed to) ----------------------------------------------- 1995-12-07T16:58:28 3 detectors 1995-12-07T17:07:00 2 detectors 1995-12-07T17:15:34 1 detector 1995-12-07T17:24:08 3 detectors 1995-12-07T17:32:39 2 detectors 1995-12-07T17:41:09 1 detector 1995-12-07T17:49:43 3 detectors 1995-12-07T17:58:14 2 detectors 1995-12-07T18:06:43 1 detector1 The LETB detector was turned off at 1995-12-07T18:14:11."
