1.4 Functional Description

1.4.1 Data Source, Destination, and Transfer Method

1.4.2 Pertinent Relationships with Other Interfaces

The Precision Experiment Data Record (PEDR) Data Product is derived from the AEDR file. Therefore, any changes to the AEDR file may affect the software creating the PEDR Data Product.

1.4.3 Labeling and Identification

The data set id for the MOLA AEDR data product is MO-M-MOLA-2-AEDR-L0-V1.0. This is the data set id that was provided to the PDB and the PDS. This id describes the overall AEDR data product. The version number is incremented should the AEDR Data Product format change.

The file naming convention for each AEDR data product produced is AA#####a.b.

Where:

1.4.4 Assumptions and Constraints

1. The AEDR product contains all MOLA telemetry packets.

2. Each AEDR retains the CHDO information contained in the corresponding EDR.

3. The AEDR product will contain one orbit of data.

4. Each record will contain one packet of MOLA data.

5. SFDU headers and labels will be attached to the AEDR file.

6. The EDR format will be maintained in the AEDR.

2.0 Environment

2.1 Hardware Characteristics and Limitations

2.2 Interface Medium and Characteristics

The AEDR Data Product shall be distributed to the PDS Geosciences Node for archival. The MOLA CD-ROM Archive Volume SIS, Applicable Document #6 for the CD-ROM structure and data access information.

The interface media for file transfer and distribution are described in detail in Applicable Document #3.

 the format of the data taken in the Science mode. The 

 MOLA_MAINTENANCE_MODE_TABLE describes the format of the data taken in 

 the Maintenance mode. The data are written sequentially. Each record 

 will contain one packet of MOLA telemetry data. Each record contains 
  an
 indicator of its packet type (e.g. science, maintenance, memory 
  dump)
 in byte 11 of the file. It is by interpreting this indicator

 user will know which table to apply to the data. For fuller
