Output Files

1. Calibration index file (either a CIF or a MIF)

   A binary table CALINDEX with the following columns:

   • TELESCOP, character(4): copied from the CCF constituent
   • SCOPE, character(6): calibration scope
   • TYPEID, character(32): calibration type
   • ISSUE, integer: issue number
   • VALDATE, character(19): start of validity date (yyyy:dd:mmZhh:mm:ss)
   • VALDATE-END, character(19): end of validity date (yyyy:dd:mmZhh:mm:ss). An empty value means that the constituent has no end of validity date.
   • FNAME, character(256): name of the constituent
   • DATE, character(19): creation date (yyyy:dd:mmZhh:mm:ss)

   • FSIZE, integer: constituent size in bytes
   • SUBDATE, character(19): submission date (yyyy:dd:mmZhh:mm:ss)

   • EXTSEQU, character(32): extension sequence
   • EXTSEQID, character(256): extension sequence identifiers
   • MD5, character(32): MD5 signature of the constituent
   • CREATOR, character(64): copied from the CCF constituent

   Two attributes are used to record the dates used in the creation of the CIF:

   • OBSVDATE: the observation date.
   • ANALDATE: the analysis date.
