The Stardust CIDA Data Archive ======================================================================== Introduction ============ This document provides an overview of this volume of the Stardust Cometary and Interstellar Dust Analyser (CIDA) Archive, including a complete listing of the volume contents. This volume contains CIDA science spectrum data in the form of Experiment Data Frames (EDF), along with the instrument housekeeping data. Refer to the PDS DATASET catalog objects for more details. Volume Format ============= This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2 Interchange Standard. This volume does not contain any Extended Attribute Records (XAR). Thus, some VAX/VMS users may have problems accessing files on this volume. File Formats ============ All text documents and other meta information files such as descriptions, PDS object definitions and detached PDS labels are stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows the files to be read by MS-DOS/Windows, Unix, and VMS operating systems. Volume Contents =============== Files on this volume are organized into a set of subdirectories below the top-level directory. The following table shows the structure and content of these directories. In the table, directory names are enclosed in square brackets ([]). See the *INFO.TXT files in each directory for specific information on the files in the directory.
