This file contains errata and other information or comments regarding 
the contents of this CD volume and earlier volumes in the volume set.
It also contains other information including liens for future CD volumes.


ERRATA

(for GO_1005 and GO_1006, Jupiter operations)

  The last sentence of the NOTE in labels of spike files is incorrect.
  It should say that the name of the EDR corresponding to the spike file
  can be obtained by replacing the .SPI extension with .EDR.

(for GO_1005, Jupiter orbits G1-E4)

  In the EDRDATA2.FMT structure file (in the LABEL directory), in the
  CONTAINER for NATIVE_TIME, START_BYTE had an incorrect value of "0"
  instead of the correct "1".  Also, a REPETITIONS = 1 statement was
  missing from that container description.  Similarly, several
  REPETITIONS = 1 statements were missing from container descriptions
  in EDRHDR2.FMT.  These errors have been corrected in GO_1006.
  (It is understood that REPETITIONS = 1 is not strictly legal by
  PDS standards.)

  A few spike filenames were left out of the index table (EDRCAT.TAB).
  The missing filenames were for observations G1GNGLOBAL02A (G1G003),
  C3CNGLOBAL01B (C3C007), C3CNGLOBAL01C (C3C008) and C3ENELIMB_01B
  (C3E002).  In each case, the correct filename was the same as that
  for the immediately preceding observation.  These omissions have been
  corrected in the cumulative index table (CUMINDEX.TAB) on GO_1006.

  Due to a processing error, data for four E4 Io eclipse observations
  are merged with data from neighboring observations in the latter's EDR.
  There is a time gap in each case between the two parts of the EDR.
  In particular:

    Data from E4INCOOLCV02D are contained in the EDR for E4INCOOLCV02C
    (CD name E4I006).

    Data from the first half of E4INWARMCV01C are contained in the EDR
    for E4INWARMCV01B (CD name E4I011).

    Data from E4INWARMCV01D are contained in the EDR for E4INWARMCV01C
    (CD name E4I012) which also is *missing* data from the first half
    of its namesake observation (see preceding item).

    Data from E4INWARMCV04D are contained in the EDR for E4INWARMCV04C
    (CD name E4I027).

  Isolated DNs (due to radiation noise) with values 0-4 should not be
  confused with patterns of special values indicating:  0 missing data,
  1 wavelength-edited data, 2 mirror-blocked data, 3 rate-controlled data
  (not used), or 4 thresholded data.  The assignment of special values
  was made on the assumption that very low DNs would not occur at Jupiter.
  But they do.  (Starting with orbit E6, these very low DNs are reset to
  the value 5 before the special values are inserted, so that a DN of 5
  represents orginal DNs in the range 0-5.)

(for GO_1004)

  In [DOCUMENT.SLNIMSGD]NIMSGD.LBL: A missing double quote at the end of the
   description field prevents proper parsing of the following END_OBJECT.

(for GO_1002-1004)

  In VOLDESC.CAT, DISCIPLINE_NAME should be {ATMOSPHERES,GEOSCIENCES}.
  In INST.CAT, INSTRUMENT_TYPE should be "IMAGING SPECTROMETER"

(for GO_1001-1004)

  The value of INSTRUMENT_NAME in various files should have spaces between
   words, not underscores and it should be quoted: "NEAR INFRARED MAPPING
   SPECTROMETER".
  In DOCUMENT labels: DOCUMENT_NAME is too long (>60 char)

(for GO_1002-1003)

  In VOLDESC.CAT, FACILITY_NAME should be "MULTIMISSION IMAGE PROCESSING
   SUBSYSTEM".
  EARTHDS.CAT has the wrong target: VENUS instead of EARTH.
  DATA_OBJECT_TYPE should be TABLE, not EDR, in all dataset catalog files.

(for GO_1001)

  There is no catalog directory and there are no catalog files.
   (VENUSDS.CAT and EARTHDS.CAT can be found on subsequent volumes.)
  VOLDESC.SFD in the main directory corresponds to the current VOLDESC.CAT.


LIENS (items to be included in later volumes in this set)

  The following kinds of ancillary files, required for generation of cubes
  from NIMS EDRs, have been deferred to a subsequent CD-ROM in this series,
  or to a special CD-ROM.

    Calibration files
    Dark value files
    SPICE kernels (only the NIMS I-kernel is included on GO_1005)

  Preliminary versions may be obtained from the NIMS team (calibration
  and dark files) or the Galileo Science Data Team (SPICE files).
