This data set consists of FPCS (Focal Plane Crystal Spectrometer) reduced data tapes. Each tape file contains reduced data for a particular X-ray target as well as files that describe the parameters used in the reduction process. These tapes contain four types of files for each of the sources observed by FPCS: two source files, an index parameter file, and an event file. The source files contain the parameters used by a processing program when the data were reduced. The index parameter file contains a short description of each of the data intervals and the definitions of grouping data. The event file contains the reduced data and is the file used by analysis programs. Accompanying documentation describes the FPCS experiment and the data on the tapes. This document also contains a brief description of the organization of the FPCS data, the method of data reduction, a catalog of observations, and a description of the physical characteristics of the tapes. Detailed scientific aspects of these reduced data can be obtained by contacting Dr. Thomas H. Markert, Room 37-515, Department of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139.
