6.6.24 Level 0 MDSR
The Level 0
Measurement Data Set
(MDS) will consist of a series of Annotated Instrument Source
Packets (AISPs) . The annotation
consists of the header added to the ISP by the Front End Processor
(FEP) plus the sensing time added by the Level 0
processor, as converted from the Satellite
Binary Time (SBT) counter embedded in each ISP.
This stamp allows for later extraction of
specific regions of the MDS.
The exact contents of the Level 0
MDSRs is instrument and mode specific, however
it will follow a common structure as shown below.
