Summary File specification from ODF ICD 2.4

Note: this section needs editing. For the time being it is taken verbatim from version 2.4 of the ODF ICD.

Each ODF will contain an observation summary file and each SDF will contain a slew summary file. An observation/ slew summary file is an ASCII file which consists of a number of records. The following record types are present:

• Observation/ Slew Record
• File Details Record
• Instrument Details Records
• Proposal Summary Record
• Data Quality Record

All records will consist of an integer multiple of 80 character lines and are terminated with an additional linefeed (ASCII 0A hex) character. All lines will be space (ASCII 32) filled. In all of the subsequent tables 'An' specifies n characters and 'nX' specifies n spaces.
