4.1.5.2 EPIC PN Timing/Burst Mode Event List File

EPIC PN Timing/Burst Mode Event List files (*PN* $^{\rm TIE}_{\rm BUE}$.FIT) are created for each CCD node which is producing timing/burst mode data. Each file consists of a single binary table. The binary table consists of the columns listed in Table 8.
