These experimenter-supplied, energetic particle data are on binary magnetic tapes written by an ICL 4/72 computer. Each file of data contains either fast-varying or slow-varying auxiliary data. The slow-varying records are blocked at 120 sixty-byte logical records containing a low-speed format counter; modified Julian day; milliseconds of day of first bit of first format; mean duration; high-speed counter value at time of last calculation of plasma frequency; plasma frequency quality flag and measurement in units of 5 Hz; satellite position in corotating geocentric equatorial coordinates; satellite attitude in VDH coordinates; spin axis tilt in spacecraft coordinates; and quality bits for orbit, attitude and timing. The fast-varying records are blocked at seven 936-byte logical records per physical block. They consist of a format counter; payload status index; Euler angles; angular velocity; magnetic field components in the VDH system; direction angles; spacecraft modified Julian day and milliseconds of day; and an array for the four-format unit (32 frames and 64 channels).
