Description
This data group contains Bremsstrahlung X-ray measurements from the NaI spectrometers that are onboard multiple balloons of the BARREL (Balloon Array for Radiation-belt Relativistic Electron Losses) investigation in 2013 and 2014. Level 2 fast spectra data are available from four channels at 20 keV-15 MeV with a time resolution of 50 ms.

Known hardware and calibration issues are:
Payload 1L - Lost contact on ascent, returned no science data;
Payload 1N - GPS failure early in flight => location and timing errors exist;
Paylaod 1W - balloon failed on launch, returned no science data.
