Output Files

All output data sets start with a string composed by one or more of the following parts, each separated by an underscore character (_):

• rrrr: the revolution number
• oooooooooo: the observation identifier
• EPN or EMOS1 or EMOS2: the instrument name
• eeee: the exposure identifier. For instance: S001.
• cc: the CCD number
• nn: the node number

These parts are hierarchically structured, so that, say, any data set name that contains the exposure identifier will also contain the revolution number, the observation identifier, and the instrument name.

Additional strings indicate the contents of the data set:

• AttHk: attitude housekeeping
• Gti: GTI
• AuxGti: GTI based on the auxiliary file
• FrmGti: GTI created by epframes or emframes
• HkGti: housekeeping GTI
• Evts: the data set contains an event list
• ImagingEvts: imaging mode event list
• TimingEvts: timing mode event list
• BurstEvts: burst mode event list
• Temp: a temporary data set, usually removed
