This data set consists of soft X-ray data on binary, multifiled magnetic tape recorded on a UNIVAC 1110 computer. Logical records are packed 10 to a physical record giving 300 x 10 = 3000 word blocks. All references to "word" mean 36-bit words. An end-of-file mark was written if more than 12 h elapsed after the beginning of a file or if the total movement of the positive spin axis was greater than or equal to a 10 deg change after the beginning of a file. Each data record contains ID and flag words; day and seconds of day; minor frames of telemetry words; digital subcommunication words; high voltage power supply analog monitors; right ascension (RA) and declination (Dec) of top sky; RA and Dec of centers of sectors; magnetic field strength and roll axis; geodetic latitude and longitude; McIllwain's L and B parameters; zenith, azimuth, and height of the satellite (kilometers); relay monitors; spin rate; and attitude flags. For information on the main data base and this data set, contact Dr. William Kraushaar, Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin, 1150 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706.
