Data Set Summary ================ Data Set ID: ULY-J-HISCALE-4-SUMM-LEMS30-V1.0 Instrument: HISCALE Low Energy Magnetic Spectrometer 30 (LEMS30) Instrument P.I.: Louis J. Lanzerotti Data Supplier: Thomas P. Armstrong Data sampling rate: CRUISE: 1 hour, LEMS30: 15 minutes Data Set Start time: 1991-12-31T00:00:00.000Z Data Set Stop time: 1992-02-16T23:45:00.000Z Naming convention ----------------- This data set consists of two files named: CRUISE.TAB 1 hour averaged cruise data 1991-12-31 to 1992-02-01 LEMS30.TAB 15 minute averaged encounter data 1992-02-02 to 1992-02-16 Record format ------------- These files can be read according to the FORTRAN format statement: '(a24,8(1x,1pe9.2))' where 'a24' is the time stamp in PDS format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ. The individual elements of the time field can be read according to the statement: '(i4,4(1x,i2),1x,f6.3,1x)' year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds. thus a record may be alternatively be read according to the format: '(i4,4(1x,i2),1x,f6.3,1x,8(1x,1pe9.2))' Data column descriptions ------------------------ time a24 spacecraft event time in the format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ P1 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (56-78 keV) P2 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (78-130 keV) P3 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (130-214 keV) P4 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (214-337 keV) P5 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (337-594 keV) P6 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (594-1073 keV) P7 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (1.073-1.802 MeV) P8 1pe9.2 LEMS30 ion flux (1.802-5.0 MeV) Missing data flag value ----------------------- Any data column whose value is -9.99e+10 is a missing data value. Data Description ================ HI-SCALE The Heliosphere Instrument for Spectra, Composition, and Anisotropy at Low Energies is designed to make measurements of interplanetary ions and electrons throughout the entire Ulysses mission. The ions (Ei > 50 keV) and electrons (Ee > 30 keV) are identified uniquely and detected by five separate solid-state detector telescopes that are oriented to give nearly complete pitch-angle coverage from the spinning spacecraft. Ion elemental abundances are determined by a del E vs E telescope using a thin 5 micrometer front solid state detector element in a three element telescope. Experiment operation is controlled by a microprocessor-based data system. Inflight calibration is provided by radioactive sources mounted on telescope covers which can be closed for calibration purposes and for radiation protection during the course of the mission. Ion and electron spectral information is determined using both broad- energy-range rate channels and a 32 channel pulse-height analyses (channels spaced logarithmically) for more detailed spectra. The instrument weighs 5.775 kg and uses 4.0 W of power. About LEMS30 LEMS30 counts ions at 30 degrees from the space-craft spin axis .
