DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : This data set consists of all the uncalibrated data collected by the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) spectrometers. This data will be used to quantitatively determine the chemical composition of rocks and regolith in order to characterize the materials in the vicinity of the rover. Parameters : LIBS Spectra: Datafiles of Full pixel resolution from all three spectrometers, for each laser fired. Processing : This data set uses the Committee On Data Management And Computation (CODMAC) data level numbering system. The EDRs are to be reconstructed from 'Level 1' or 'Raw Data', which are the telemetry packets within the project specific Standard Formatted Data Unit (SFDU) record. CHEMCAM EDRs were generated by the MIPL (Multimission Image Processing Laboratory) at JPL under the Operation Products Generation Subsystem. The EDRs are raw uncalibrated data reconstructed from telemetry data products and formatted according to the Camera EDR/RDR Software Interface Specification. Meta-data acquired from the telemetry data headers and a meta-data database were used to propagate the PDS label. RDRs will be produced in succession by the ChemCam Team and formatted according to this SIS, the RDR data product will be placed into FEI for distribution. Data : The data are stored in multiple data files and have been organized by data products. For LIBS the data product consist of the following: Ancillary data which includes sclk, tempertures and command parameters and arguments. SOH Data Before and after the spectra data collect. LASER Data if the laser was fired. Auto Focus data if the Auto focus was used. Spectra Science Data. Command Reply for all DPO's An attached PDL Label describes the content of the data file and format of the data can be found in referenced .FMT files. Ancillary Data : Most of the ancillary data needed can be found in the data it self or in the label portion of the EDR. There is ancillary information included in the data of the data product.
