CDF EPOCH time, one element per ion distribution (NUM_DISTS elements)

Unix time (elapsed seconds since 1970-01-01/00:00 without leap seconds) for each data record, one element per distribution. This time is the center time of data collection. (NUM_DISTS elements)

Validity flag codes valid data (bit 0), non-zero values are not necessarily valid (NUM_DISTS elements)

---> GEOM_FACTOR, Geometrical factor used in calibration (NUM_DISTS elements)

---> Index for the value of the Geometrical factor for data (NUM_DISTS elements)

---> Index for the number of angular bins for data (NUM_DISTS elements)

---> Index for the data mode (0-2 for survey data, 0-1 for burst data) (NUM_DISTS elements)

Burst Electron Raw Counts data with dimensions (96, 64, NUM_DISTS)

Differential burst-mode electron energy flux array with dimensions (96, 64, NUM_DISTS) (as plasmagrams)

---> Spectrograms by energy at sample pitch angle bin nos (of varying pitch angle)
