SOI Data Programs - prog:mdi_sim

The data in this program are derived from observations made with the Michelson Doppler Imager Simulator, an approximate replica of the flight instrument, operating at Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratories.

These data are provided for purposes of instrument analysis, testing and software development. They are unlikely to be suitable for scientific analysis.

Available Processing Levels

For a general description of processing levels within the SOI database, see the SOI Datasets description.

Available Data Series

data products (daily):
There is one dataset for each day's observations of each MDI data product in the low-rate science telemetry stream. Each series is named by its Data Product Code (DPC), a mnemonic and readily identifiable number represented as a 32-bit hexadecimal string that should require no further explanation.
data products (hourly):
There is one dataset for each hour's observations of each MDI data product in the high-rate science telemetry stream. Each series is named by its DPC.
merged low-rate telemetry:
There is one dataset for each day's observations.
merged high-rate telemetry:
There is one dataset for each hour's observations.
low-rate telemetry
There is one dataset for each ``contact'' (session).
high-rate telemetry
log of hi-rate simulated data (160ksimlog)
unorganized telemetry (date and time only):
raw and level 0
housekeeping (monthly)
monthly collections of raw files containing simulator instrument engineeering data
command history (monthly)
monthly collections of the suimulator observing command logs
bsmar: mystery data
level f0 | level fits
