DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION This data set describes data of the counting rate from theD1 detector in the Cosmic Ray System (CRS) electrontelescope (TET) on Voyager 2 during the Uranus encounter.The D1 detector nominally responds to electrons withkinetic energies above approximately 1 MeV(see detector description for details).Note that the instrument is saturated near the maximum ofcounting rate of approximately 50,000 counts / secbetween approximately 1986-01-24T18:10:50Z and1986-01-24T19:02:02Z. When they are near saturation,the counting rates should be corrected for deadtimeaccording to the formula in the DATA_SET_OR_INST_PARM_DESC:{corrected rate} = {uncorrected rate/(1+deadtime*{uncorrected rate}). SAMPLING_PARAMETER_NAME = TIME SAMPLING_PARAMETER_RESOLUTION = 6.0 MINIMUM_SAMPLING_PARAMETER = N/A MAXIMUM_SAMPLING_PARAMETER = N/A SAMPLING_PARAMETER_INTERVAL = 96.0 MINIMUM_AVAILABLE_SAMPLING_INT = 96.0 SAMPLING_PARAMETER_UNIT = SECOND DATA_SET_PARAMETER_NAME = D1 RATE NOISE_LEVEL = 0.000 DATA_SET_PARAMETER_UNIT = COUNTS/SECOND

ARCHIVE_STATUS ARCHIVED
CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Each data point represents a six-second accumulation,so that the statistical uncertainty is obtained accordingto Poisson statistics by taking the square root of one sixthof the counting rate. However, larger uncertainties areassociated with the conversion from counting rate to flux(see the DATA_SET_OR_INST_PARM_DESC)

ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set describes data of thecounting rate from the D1 detector in the Cosmic Ray System (CRS) electrontelescope (TET) on Voyager 2 during the Uranus encounter. The D1 detectornominally responds to electrons with kinetic energies above approximately1 MeV (see detector description for details). Note that the instrument issaturated near the maximum of counting rate of approximately 50,000 counts/secbetween approximately 1986-01-24T18:10:50Z and 1986-01-24T19:02:02Z. Whenthey are near saturation, the counting rates should be corrected for deadtimeaccording to the formula in the DATA_SET_OR_INST_PARM_DESC:{corrected rate} = {uncorrected rate/(1+deadtime*{uncorrected rate}).
