This data set has just been delivered to the Central Node for final
ingestion into the PDS. Thank you very much to the dedicated
individuals who submitted peer reviews.
The final version is on line as an expanded directory tree
RPX_0101 or as a single, downloadable zip file
RPX_0101.zip (246 Mbytes).
Overview of Changes
The most extensive set of changes since the peer review release
have been as follows:
In response to recommendations from the peer reviewers the directory
structure supporting the data files has been reorganized. There is now
a /DATA directory in the root directory with separate subdirectories for
/IMAGES and /SPECTRA.
A new DATAINFO.TXT file has been included in the /DATA directory. It
gives general information about the files within the subdirectories.
Items covered include:
- A simple table using the roots of the filenames for the ISIS
spectra in the DATA/SPECTRA/RAWISIS & DATA/SPECTRA/CALISIS
subdirectories. The table identifies the target (E Ring or Enceladus),
and whether the product was obtained through the blue or the red arm of
the spectrograph.
- A table giving the minimum and maximum zenith angles for the
collection of files within each of the /DATA/IMAGE subdirectories.
Additional information is provided to enable a user to quickly
determine the actual zenith angle range for any given image.
- Additionally, the /DATA/DATAINFO.TXT file contains a brief
discussion of the orientation of the images in the
/DATA/IMAGES/RAWIMAGE & /DATA/IMAGES/CALIMAGE subdirectories. The
discussion is supported by three low resolution GIF images in the /DATA
directory.
Separate CALINFO.TXT files were added to each of the subdirectories
under the /CALIB directory. Included in these files are simple tables
which identify the purpose of each file in that subdirectory. The
tables also summarize some additional information such as, for ISIS
calibration files, which arm was used, and for API calibration files,
filter and exposure duration.
Labels have been rewritten to contain more complete information and to
show greater consistency from directory to directory.
