Other features
In addition to the xenon pulse height histograms, Standard-2 files also contain two other sets of data, namely:
- Five columns of 33-channel pulse-height histograms from the propane veto layer, one for each PCU, accumulated every 16 seconds (shorter if the source is bright)
- Background data comprising 29 columns of single-value count rates from various anodes, discriminators and veto flags. Details can be found in the Technical Appendix.
And in common with other configurations in science array format, Standard 2 files have two additional columns called Spillage and ModeSpecific, as well as a coda of keywords summarizing EDS status.
