| Description: The gain state of an instrument. Gain is a constant value, set by the observer, that indicates the approximate number of photon-excited electrons registered by the detector that correlate to one "data number" (DN). This attribute corresponds to the keyword GAIN_MODE_ID in earlier versions of Voyager data products. |
