  10 + <Description>MEPA is a particle telescope with an ION head and a TOF head. The TOF head can measure species
  11 + and energy, while the ION head only measures the energy of the ions, which are mostly protons.
  12 + In fact, the counts in the ION head are all assumed to be protons up to 1830 keV. The ION
  13 + head has 10 energy channels, and so the first 8 channels (that are all below 1830 keV) are assumed
  14 + to be all protons, and the 2 channels above this are assumed to be all alphas. The TOF head
  15 + has 9 energy channels that are generic (ions of any species are counted) and some species specific
  16 + channels for protons, helium, oxygen, and iron. The AMPTE data was divided into records, with each
  17 + record holding data from 4 spins. In any record, all the TOF species channels are always present,
  18 + but only one of either a) the 10 ION head channels or b) 9 TOF generic channels are
  19 + present. The majority of records have the ION head channels.
  20 + The AMPTE spacecraft had a spin period of about 6 seconds. MEPA data is sectored into 32 directions
  21 + per spin. Nearly all channels are reported as sectored values, but to conserve telemetry, many channels
  22 + are only read out every other spin, or every fourth spin. In this data, all values are summed so that
  23 + they are reported every fourth spin. Note that in the original AMPTE datesets, there was a timing problem
  24 + which required that 19.75 seconds (one Major Frame of telemetry) be added to time values extracted from
  25 + the processing system. This correction has already been made in the particle data in this dataset.
