DATA_SET_ID MSL-M-CHEMCAM-LIBS-2-EDR-V1.0
NSSDC_DATA_SET_ID NULL
DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION The MSL ChemCam LIBS EDR data set consists of all uncalibrated data collected by the ChemCam Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometer on the Mars Science Laboratory rover.
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.
