exposure time by iterating off of a pre-set exposure time. INCR
exposure also automatically adjusts the exposure time, but iterates
off of the exposure time from the previous image. MANUAL exposure is

instrument modes. These sequences repeat from cycle to cycle and
sometimes within a cycle. Note: for the rover cameras, this keyword
was used as an indicator of which camera acquired the image, LEFT,
RIGHT, or REAR. The color anaglyphs also use the value of BOTH to
indicate that both LEFT and RIGHT frames are included in the mosaic
product.
The complete name or identifier for a person or object. For an
individual, full name includes the name as well as titles and
suffixes. For an object, full name provides the spelled-out name that
in some cases corresponds to an 'id'.

the data element ITEMS is used for multiple occurrences of a single

Represents the size in bytes of an item within a data object such as a
column. Note: In the PDS, the term item_bytes is distinguished from
the term bytes because both elements may appear in a single data

data object. In an object such as a column, bytes represents the size
of the column. Should the column be split into equal items,
item_bytes would represent the size of each item. For fuller
explanation of the use of these data elements, please refer to the PDS

camera's image plane, and yc is the point of intersection of a
perpendicular dropped from the exit pupil point of the camera lens.
H', A', V' are mutually orthogonal. Corresponds to the V vector in
the CAHV camera model.
The file name of the original VICAR-formatted EDR produced by MIPS.
NOTE: This is NOT the file name used on this PDS CD. For PDS file
names, please see the APEINDEX.TAB file in this directory.
Provides the number of physical data volumes contained in a volume
set.
Identifies the logical format used in writing a data volume, such as
ANSI, TAR, or BACKUP for tape volumes and ISO-9660, HIGH-SIERRA, for
CD-ROM volumes.
Provides a unique identifier for a data volume. Example: MG_1001.
Contains the name of a data volume. In most cases the volume_name is
more specific than the volume_set_name. For example, the volume_name
for the first volume in the VOYAGER IMAGES OF URANUS volume set is:
Volume 1: Compressed Images 24476.54 - 26439.58
Provides a full, formal name that describes a broad categorization of
data products or data sets related to a planetary body or a research
campaign (e.g. International Halley Watch). A volume series consists
of one or more volume sets that represent data from one or more
missions or campaigns. For example, the volume series MISSION TO
VENUS consists of the following three volume sets: MAGELLAN: THE
MOSAIC IMAGE DATA RECORD MAGELLAN: THE ALTIMETRY AND RADIOMETRY DATA
RECORD PRE-MAGELLAN RADAR AND GRAVITY DATA SET COLLECTION
Identifies a data volume or a set of volumes. Volume sets are
normally considered as a single orderable entity. Examples:
USA_NASA_PDS_MG_1001, USA_NASA_PDS_GR_0001_TO_GR_0009
Provides the full, formal name of one or more data volumes containing
a single data set or a collection of related data sets. Volume sets
are normally considered as a single orderable entity. For example,
the volume series MISSION TO VENUS consists of the following three
volume sets: MAGELLAN: THE MOSAIC IMAGE DATA RECORD MAGELLAN: THE
ALTIMETRY AND RADIOMETRY DATA RECORD PRE-MAGELLAN RADAR AND GRAVITY
DATA SET COLLECTION In certain cases, the volume_set_name can be the
same as the volume_name, such as when the volume_set consists of only
one volume.
Indentifies the version of a data volume. All original volumes should
use a volume_version_id of 'Version 1'. Versions are used when data
products are remade due to errors or limitations in the original
volumes (test volumes, for example), and the new version makes the
previous volume obsolete. Enhancements or revisions to data products
which constitute alternate data products should be assigned a unique
volume id, not a new version id. Examples: Version 1, Version 2.

PDS-labelled APXS data file.
