This experimenter-supplied, low-energy ion count data set is on 55 7-track, 556-bpi, BCD magnetic tapes. There is one short header file and one data file per tape. The data file contains 6 characters per word, 10 words per logical record, 22 logical records per physical record, and approximately 140 physical records per file. Each of the 22 logical records in a physical record includes the count data from one complete angular scan for one energy interval, giving approximately 660 data points per physical record. Also included in each logical record are time and data quality flags. The counts per energy interval per angular window (counts per 0.02 s) must be corrected by the user for telemetry errors and a prescaler. The algorithm for this correction is provided in the documentation.
