DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview ====================This data set describes the counting rate data from detectors D1 and D2in the Cosmic Ray System (CRS) electron telescope (TET) on Voyager 1 duringthe Saturn encounter. The D1 detector nominally responds to electrons withkinetic energies above approximately 1 MeV, and the D2 detector, aboveapproximately 2.5 MeV (see detector description for details).Note that the instrument is saturated near the maximum of countingrate of approximately 50,000 counts/sec. When data are near saturation,the counting rates should be corrected for deadtime according to the formulain the DATA_SET_OR_INST_PARM_DESC:{corrected rate} = {uncorrected rate/(1+deadtime*{uncorrected rate}). Parameters =============== SAMPLING_PARAMETER_RESOLUTION = 192.0 MINIMUM_SAMPLING_PARAMETER = N/A MAXIMUM_SAMPLING_PARAMETER = N/A SAMPLING_PARAMETER_INTERVAL = 192.0 MINIMUM_AVAILABLE_SAMPLING_INT = 192.0 SAMPLING_PARAMETER_UNIT = SECOND DATA_SET_PARAMETER_NAME = D1/D2 RATE NOISE_LEVEL = 0.000 DATA_SET_PARAMETER_UNIT = COUNTS/SECOND

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Confidence Level =================Each data point represents a six-second accumulation, so that thestatistical uncertainty is obtained according to Poisson statistics bytaking the square root of one sixth of the counting rate. However,larger uncertainties are associated with the conversion from countingrate to flux (see the DATA_SET_OR_INST_PARM_DESC).

ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set describes the countingrate data from detectors D1 and D2 in the Cosmic Ray System (CRS) electrontelescope (TET) on Voyager 1 during the Saturn encounter. The D1 detectornominally responds to electrons with kinetic energies above approximately1 MeV, and the D2 detector, above approximately 2.5 MeV (see detectordescription for details).
