These data, on unlabeled IBM-compatible tapes are in raw form, just as they were received by the Viking experimenters from the telemetry decommutation program output, except that they have been put into logical order and gaps have been filled in. They are unlikely to be usable by anyone not very familiar with the mission operations and the instrument design. Each sample run, comprising one file on the tape, includes several spectral scans divided arbitrarily into small blocks. The quantities listed are the output of the analog-to-digital converter on a logarithmic scale as a function of time. Separate blocks of engineering data contain temperatures, pressures, and other instrument parameters.
