This data set contains X-ray and particle count-rate data plotted on 35-mm microfilm. These are partially reduced data submitted by the experimenter. The data coverage is greater than 90%. Six plots are given for each 12-h period (0000 to 1200 or 1200 to 2400 UT). These plots contain, as a function of time: (1) the count rates of GM1 for each sector, (2) the count rates of PN1 for each sector, (3) the count rates of GM2, GM3, PN2, and GM1 (GM1 summed over all sectors), (4) the count rates of all channels of the SSD (PN1 summed over all sectors), (5) the average counting rate (G1AV) of GM1 for sectors i, ii, and iv, and the counting rate of GM1, sector iii, from solar X-rays (G1X), or (6) the angular distribution data in the form of the ratio of the counting rates of GM2 to GM3, and coefficients describing first order Fourier fits to the data from PN1 and GM1. The curves fitted to the PN1 and GM1 data are of the form a(1 + b cos(d-e)), where d is the spacecraft rotation angle.
