E.3 Other Products

E.3.1 Auxiliary data

Data needed for processing observational data

All spacecraft and instrument data needed to process observational data from the Raw Data level onwards are archived. [Spacecraft pointing and velocity data are examples.]

Mission-planning data

All data needed for the planning of observations, including proposal data abstracts, are archived. [PH reports, the Mission Data Base, the ISO Log and CAL-U files are examples.]

Diagnostic data

All spacecraft and instrument data needed for diagnostic and trend-analysis purposes are archived. [QLA reports and data needed to correlate observational data with orbital position are examples.]

E.3.2 Ancillary data

Space weather

Space weather reports, obtained from external sources, are archived.

E.3.3 Observation details and associated files

There are many observational details and associated files connected to each individual observation in the archive. For example, observation identifiers of all concatenated observations or raster parameters used by the spacecraft when making a celestial map are given in a short summary. Many associated files, which were mainly used for planning of observations and uplink, are also available. Most of them are only for expert usage. The following give a short summary of associated files:

POF:	Planned Observation File
ICS:	Instrument Command Sequence
CUS4_ICPT:	Calibration Uplink System Instrument Calibration Parameter File
CUS4_ICS:	Calibration Uplink System Instrument Command Sequence
CUS4_IDSDB:	Calibration Uplink System Instrument Default Setting Data Base
CUS4_VERBS:	Calibration Uplink System Verbs
RRP:	Real time Revolution Report
ISR:	Instrument Station Report
COIF:	Calibration Observation Input File
COB:	Calibration Observation Batch
CO_PARAM:	Calibration Observation Parameters
CO_LIST:	Calibration Observation List
TIMELINE FILE:	Calibration Observation scheduling instructions (PHT specific)
IPF:	Output file of the program PHTAOT (PHT specific)

Additionally, the proposals abstracts are available for most of the observations. All these products can help to understand and/or interpret specific aspects of a measurement.

E.3.4 Calibration data

All versions of derived calibration data which have been used to process the observational data from the Raw Data level onwards are archived. [Cal-G files are an example].

E.3.5 Historical and chronological data

All data needed to reconstruct the chronology of the mission are archived.

E.3.6 Documentation

All documentation existing in electronic or widely-distributed hard-copy form is archived.

E.3.7 Software

A number of software packages are available to the community to reduce and analyse ISO data. These include: ISOCAM Interactive Analysis (CIA); ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis (PIA); Observers' SWS Interactive Analysis (OSIA); LWS Interactive Analysis (LIA); and ISO Spectroscopic Analysis Package (ISAP). They all can be obtained through the ISO Data Center web pages at:
