INP
An EDR record on disk. Each EDR file begins with a PDS label followed by
an EDR file header and EDR line records for at most 1 RIM of data.
A new file is created upon telemetry format or instrument mode changes.
Missing data within a record is zero filled. There is no filler for
missing records. The number of PWS data blocks in each of up to 91 records is
dependent on the telemetry format and instrument mode. The length of the
records are fixed for a given file but may be different between files depending
on the telemetry format and instrument mode. The details are described in the
document "PWS EDR Software Interface Specification".(232-09)
OUT
A standard VICAR format. The following information describes the first output :
It does not have a binary label. All the information will be carried in the
history label. Each output file can hold up to 91 minor frames of PWS data
or 13 minor frames in the case of telemetry modes PW4, PW8, instrument modes
1 and 2. The output file consists of records of constant length. The record
length of output file varies depending on the telemetry mode and instrument
mode. The details are described in the following table :
+----------------+---------------+--------------------+------------------------ | Telem mode | Inst mode | Output rec len | Max number of lines |
+----------------+---------------+--------------------+------------------------ | HPW/HRW 1,2 1024 | 910 |
| HPW/HRW 3 512 | 364 |
| PW4 1 512 | 416 |
| PW4 2 512 | 1040 |
| PW4 3 512 | 364 |
| PW8 1 512 | 416 |
| PW8 2 1024 | 1040 |
| PW8 3 512 | 364 |

| MPP 3 512 | 364 |
| MPW 1,2,3 128 | 910 |
+-----------------------------------------------------+------------------------
The second output contains 1 line, 91 Integer*4 samples. It contains the
Antenna switch position for each MOD91: 0 represents Antenna switch E,
1 represents Antenna switch B, 2 represents Unknown.
SPEC_NO
This variable identifies the spectrogram number being processed.
For telemetry modes PW4, PW8, instrument modes 1 and 2, each output file
contains 13 minor frames. It takes 7 spectrograms to represent 1 rim of data.
ALLZEROS
For telemetry modes PW4, PW8, instrument modes 1 and 2, each output file
contains 13 minor frames. It takes 7 spectrograms to represent 1 rim of data.
If all data for a given spectrogram are missing, the spectrogram will not be
processed. The program will output a variable in TAE to identify this case.
TEST
This keyword is used for diagnostic purposes.
