Data Set Overview
=================
This data set contains data that is useful for determining the
major and minor elemental composition of Martian soils, rocks,
and other geological materials that the rover encountered.
Processing
==========
The Committee On Data Management and Computation (CODMAC) data
level numbering system is used to describe the processing level
of the EDR data product. APXS x-ray data products are considered
CODMAC Level 2 or Edited Data (equivalent to NASA level 0)
products.
The APXS x-ray data products were generated by the Max Planck
Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany. The x-ray spectra were
extracted from the binary EDR files and converted to ASCII. Any
spectra that remained in the instrument's memory from previous
analyses were removed from the data product.
Data
====
Each APXS X-ray data file is a table. Columns are
variable length and are delimited with commas. Each row is
terminated with a carriage return and line feed character.

ABSTRACT_TEXT |
This archive contains Mars Exploration Rover x-ray data products from
the APXS instrument and ancillary files. Each product has a detached
PDS label that describes the file structure and instrument parameters
used for that product. The APXS x-ray products archived on this volume were generated by the APXS Science Team, Max Planck Institute, for the Mars Exploration Rover Project. Supporting documentation and label files conform to the Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6, Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL) document number D-7669. This archive is designed to
be accessed as an online resource.
