Master Rate (Tape) File Descriptions
The definition of a data record includes the header block, which is the same for all 4 modes, plus a data block, which is different for each mode.
Record Structure for Cruise Mode
| Header Block 38 I*2 words = 76 bytes | Data Block = 888 R*4 words + 888 I*2 words = 5328 bytes |
|
TOTAL = 5404 bytes |
|
Record Structure for Cruise 5A Mode
| Header Block 38 I*2 words = 76 bytes | Rate Data = 122 R*4 words + 122 I*2 words = 732 bytes | Pulse Height Data 160 bytes |
|
TOTAL = 968 bytes |

Record Structure for Far Encounter Mode
| Header Block 38 I*2 words = 76 bytes | Data Block = 1312 R*4 words + 1312 I*2 words = 7872 bytes |

|
Record Structure for Near Encounter Mode
| Header Block 38 I*2 words = 76 bytes | Data Block = 765 R*4 words + 765 I*2 words = 4590 bytes |
