This file is a listing of particle energy spectra from the      Galileo Plasma Instrument (PLS) during the second Earth      Encounter.  Detector reponses from ion detetors 2P, 4P, and      6P, and from electron detector 4E are available through the      PDS as separate files.  The energy resolution, angular fields      of view, and nominal geometric factors for the detectors are      specified in the Instrument Description file.  Data Set Overview  =================    For each detector the responses (Counts/Sample-Period) are given    for a series of energy-per-unit charge steps (E/Q, Volts).  These    responses are summed over spin sectors.  The instrument is    programmable, and operating modes are tailored for different mission    phases to acquire effective measurements.  The E/Q steps and Sample    Periods for different mission phases (through Ida) are tabled below.

The data collected after the closest approach is very poor in      quality. The Low-gain attena was pointed away from Earth and      all signals were being disrupted.  Also, during SITURNS the      bit rate dropped to 1200 thus no data is available during      those times.
