This data set contains cosmic-ray telescope pulse height analyzer data on binary magnetic tapes written on an XDS 930 computer which uses 24-bit words. The data are ordered by satellite orbit revolution number. Each file contains pulse height analysis data for one orbit. There is a variable number of physical records (each containing 600 binary words) per file. There are three binary words per event and 200 events (logical records) per physical record. Each logical record contains the pulse height analysis data from detector elements D1, D2, and D4 for the telescope coincidence combinations corresponding to proton energies of 0.8 to 8.45 MeV, 8.45 to 18.7 MeV, 18.7 to 30.9 MeV, 30.9 to 94.8 MeV, 94.8 to 119 MeV, and > 119 MeV. In addition, the orbit number, angular sector and range identifications, sequence number, and data quality flags are given. The data set contains all the nonoverlapped, good or fair quality, nonduplicate pulse height analysis event data from two 256-channel and one 512-channel pulse height analyzers. The output from these analyzers was obtained for one incident particle event every 5.12 s.
