COSPIN-LET RECORD FORMAT UDS REPRESENTATIVE: T.R. SANDERSON (ESTCS1::TSANDERS) Data ==== RECORD FORTRAN FORMAT: implicit real(l) character*24 time read(1,'(a24,38(1x,1pe9.2))') time,l1,l2,l3, l4,l5,l6,l7,l8,l9,l10,l11, l12,l13,l14,l15,l16,l17,l18,l19,l20, l21,l22,l23,l24,l25,l26,l27,l28,l29, l30,l31,l32,l33,l34,l35,l36,l37,l38 PARAMETER LIST: TIME: spacecraft event time in the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ L1: protons (0.9-1.2 MeV) L2: protons (1.2-3.0 MeV) L3: protons (1.8-3.8 MeV) L4_11: protons (1.8-3.8 MeV) sectors 1 to 8 L12: protons (3.8-8.0 MeV) L13_20: protons (3.8-8.0 MeV) sectors 1 to 8 L21: protons (8.0-19.0 MeV) L22: alphas (1.0-5.0 MeV) L23: alphas (1.9-3.7 MeV) L24: alphas (3.7-8.4 MeV) L25: alphas (8.4-19.0 MeV) L26 Li,Be,B (1.9-4.9 MeV) L27 Li,Be,B (4.9-26 MeV) L28 C,N,O (2.6-7.1 MeV) L29 C,N,O (7.1-39.0 MeV) L30 Z>=10 (3.0-9.0 MeV) L31 10<=Z<=20 (9.0-50 MeV) L32 Z>=20 (12.0-75.0 MeV) L33 electrons (0.3-1.0 MeV) L34_38 single detector counting rates FLUX UNITS: (/cm^2/s/sr/MeV) TIME RESOLUTION: 32 seconds NOTES: The response of the LET rate channels is affected by at least three different effects originating in the electronic circuits: dead-time effect; pulse pile-up; and baseline shift.
