This data set includes the PI-provided software for reading the high resolution DE-2 LANG data (81-070B-09D). All software files are written in FORTRAN for use on a VAX/VMS system. The programs LANGSUBROUTINE and EXAMLANG can be used to read the binary compressed LANG data tapes and to deduce electron density and temperature from these low-level LANG data (voltage-current characteristics). The tape also includes a number of catalog and inventory files: ILANG.CAT lists all on and off times for the LANG experiment, BADLANG.DAT lists the time periods for which the data are not reliable, SPINNERSLANG.DAT lists the time periods when the spacecraft was spinning (this data is good for diagnostic purposes by the LANG group only), LANGTAPELIST.DAT lists all the files on the LANG data tapes. The documentation file TAPEDESC.LANG provides mor information about the different catalog and list files. In addition the tape also contains the SFDU related FORMAT.SFD and VOLDESC.SFD files with information about the mission, experiment and data set (VOLDESC) and the data format (FORMAT).
