PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = STREAM OBJECT = TEXT NOTE = "AAREADME file for SL9 Data Set Collection Volume" PUBLICATION_DATE = 1996-12-31 END_OBJECT = TEXT END ***** File AAREADME.TXT This data set collection contains CASPIR image data. Currently only one data set is included on this volume. These are: MSSSO CASPIR - Near-IR images for Jupiter/SL9 (calibration data on subsequent volume) The Jupiter/SL9 data from July 17, 1994 to July 22, 1994 are on this volume. The data files were submitted in the FITS form with documentation. In this case, a FITS to PDS translator program (F2P) has been used to create the detached PDS labels for each corresponding FITS file. The data were checked by manipulating the data with IDL routines developed at the Small Bodies Node (PDSREAD). A complementary PDS to FITS translator program is also included for completeness. Examples on the use of these routines and the source code are posted on the Small Bodies Node home page under Software Archives; also located at this address is the Quick Start Archiving guide. In the DOCUMENT directory are explanatory text files as well as digitized versions of the manuals that are in Postscript form with figures as TIFF files. All document files and most labels contain an 80-byte fixed length record, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and line feed (ASCII 10) as the 79th and 80th byte respectively. All the tabular files in the INDEX and DOCUMENT directory are formatted according to PDS standards. It should be noted that the index tables are formatted so that they may be read directly into many database management systems. All fields are separated by commas, and character fields are inclosed in double quotes (").
