DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview :  The PUMA data were submitted by IKI in two unique forms, a GROUPS FITS file and undocumented binary file. In one original form, the data in this set were received as 4,027 separate FITS files, one for each spectrum. These files have been reformatted and combined into four tables, one for each of the PUMA instrument operating modes. Within each table, the spectra are in order of original FITS file number. This order is assumed to be chronological, based on time given by the BLISI clock, in sec.  The second form for this original dataset was a fixed length binary file containing data taken in all instrument modes. These files were split into separate files for each mode, preserving the original ordering of the spectra within the table. Spectra in each mode table are arranged chronologically, using TIME of the spectrum on the BLISI clock, in sec.
