DATA CAVEATS
Right now, all calibrations should be considered preliminary. Check this website
often for updates to these data files.
Caveats regarding specific data sets:
LET - Caveats are discussed here.
SEPT - Caveats are discussed here.
SIT - Caveats are discussed here. Please be sure to use V06 or higher SEPT data files. SEPT data files in earlier versions had incorrect times.
MAG - The MAG X sensor on the Ahead spacecraft experiences occasional glitches of
about 1/2 nT. These glitches are extremely fast (duration of a small fraction
of a second. The cause of the glitches is currently not understood and will be
corrected in a future data release.
STE - Data are in counts, but IDL routines in our IMPACT SPEDAS library extensions
are available for converting to physical units.
Details on the STE instrument can be found here.
