Index File Information
This file contains a description of the index tables created for the
spacecraft data submitted to the International Halley Watch. For those
experiments for which a large number of files were archived, a separate table
was created and placed into a subdirectory designated by the experiment code.
These include the dust spectra and image experiments, where the former
has been subdivided into detection "modes" including a test sequence. When
appropriate, the image index tables have been broken into convenient
time sequences near encounter. In addition, for the case of the processed
TVS images from KFKI, the index tables are further divided according to
the process - filtered, sharpened, filtered with aspect correction,
sharpened with aspect correction, filtered with aspect and range correction,
sharpened with aspect and range correction, and those images used to
determine the flatfields. The index tables carry information about
the experiment. To locate data use the file CDSTRUCT which identifies
the filename (with path), size and starting logical block number (LBN).
There are two types of files in each subdirectory, distinguished
by the extensions on the file names. The filenames themselves identify
the experiment which was used to produce each index. The types of files
are:
*.LBL - These are PDS labels describing the data tables. They already
contain pointers to the data tables, so no further steps are
required to make them accessible to PDS table-processing
software.
*.IDX - These files contain the actual metadata records from each
file. They are ASCII tables and each line ends with the
characters <CR><LF> (ASCII 13 and 10 respectively). All fields
in the tables are fixed width.
