This data set, on one reel of 16-mm microfilm, contains plots of electron and proton fluxes in sets of six panels. Panel 1 (top panel) is a plot of the integrated flux of electrons in range 0.5-500 eV. The points are 3-min averages. The counted flux is subject to the uncertainty of the spacecraft potential. Data before October 3, 1977, must be rejected. Panel 2 provides the proton count rates in two alternating modes. The upper envelope is the count rate in the thermal mode, 0-110 eV, and the lower envelope is the count rate in the 25 eV-16.4 keV range. The points are 3-min averages. Panel 3 provides 3-min average fluxes (erg/sq cm-s-sr) in the direction of the spin axis. Panel 4 is similar to 3, but provides the average of the fluxes parallel and perpendicular to the spin axis. It is particle flux (particles/sq cm-s-sr) and not energy flux. Panel 5 provides electron fluxes in the range 20-250 keV, in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the spin axis. Panel 6 is a plot of the proton fluxes in the range 20 keV-3.3 MeV, in directions parallel and perpendicular to the spin axis.
