Description

This data set contains annotative quality flags to signify whether a given measurement has been made under ideal conditions. The list of flags is: * (0) general flag * (1) primary peak low signal * (2) no primary peak detected * (3) cold primary peak or current spike detected * (4) sensor saturated * (5) primary peak not bound * (6) poor Maxwellian fit to primary peak * (7) flow direction poorly constrained or undetermined * (8) alpha peak low signal/not identified * (9) poor Maxwellian fit to alpha peak * (10) alpha peak not bound * (11) wind speed off scale high * (12) wind speed off scale low * (13) wind speed off scale unknown * (14) likely proton-alpha confusion * (15) unusually high noise levels detected * (16) proton full-scan mode (not peak-tracking) * (17) reduced data quality: anomalous periodic noise type A, (above 1Hz) * (18) reduced data quality: anomalous periodic noise type B (under 1Hz) * (19) temperature/survival heater cycling: potential fluctuations * (20) reduced data quality: broadband or other anomalous noise (type C) * (21) fragmented or incomplete spectrum measured * (22) energy ranging/peak tracking error * (23) spacecraft maneuver * (24) not used/TBD * (25) not used/TBD * (26) not used/TBD * (27) not used/TBD * (28) not used/TBD * (29) not used/TBD * (30) not used/TBD * (31) not used/TBD

Description

The “GENERAL FLAG” variable signifies, as broadly as possible, whether a given measurement has been made under ideal conditions and can be used without caveat. When this variable is set to 1, there is a condition present of which the user must be made aware
