These experimenter-supplied, miscellaneous data are on binary magnetic tape created on a PDP 11/34 computer. The tapes are multifiled, with each file containing a 7-word header of Radix-50 title information for internal PDP use followed by an experiment header record and a variable number of logical header and data records of 1024 bytes each. The experiment header record contains tape and experiment identification information; date and orbit number, and satellite position. A logical header record precedes each data record. It contains the dimension of the data array, wavelength information, start time of logical record, absolute and differential temperatures, gate time, true spacecraft mode, calculated actual azimuth and elevation (for raster experiments only), and experiment type. Each data record in this miscellaneous data set contains an array of one of the following six experiment types: (1) wavelength maximum (observation of a single line profile at one position on the solar disk), (2) limb finder (observation of intensities at one wavelength at each series of 20 selectable spacecraft offset positions), (3) spectroheliogram with limb offset (observation of a single wavelength for one or more raster frames or a different wavelength along a line profile with each repeat of a raster), (4) wavelength maximum with limb offset, (5) wavelength monitoring with limb offset repeated observations at a fixed wavelength, and (6) spectrum range scan with limb offset (one or repeated observations of a large section of the spectrum where starting and ending wavelengths are specified). Data reduction programs for data analysis are available on data set -01I.
