Notes:

o Richard Chen sent email with notes from test catalog ingest.  These
  have been copied into the NOTES/chen_lien.txt file.  The catalog files
  referenced are also copied in that directory.

SBN Notes
=========
o Mike B. has regular throughput problems (very slow) regularly 
  downloading large files from the dataset.html pages.
o Mike B. would prefer to see Data and Index at the top of the 
  dataset.html.
o Mike B. wants to see thumbnails in index listings.  
o Look into the FITS Liberator and see if we should be referencing
  it from our user support pages:
    http://www.spacetelescope.org/projects/fits_liberator/

General Notes
=============
o In the MET2UTC file in the document directory, please zero-pad METs
  that would begin with zeroes.
o Please add the MET equivalent of the UTC listed in the Sequence ID
  table in the dataset.cat descriptions.
o Add a note to the dataset.cat CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE in the processed 
  data indicating why there might sometimes be raw files that did not
  produce processed files.


MVIC/RALPH
==========
Post-Launch Raw & Processed

1 The "*_qe_times_filter.tab" files have a very coarse sampling rate, 
  and when plotted don't seem to agree with the information in other
  calibration tables, especially just outside the bandpass.  They 
  should be replaced by something which ultimately agrees with the
  rest of the calibration tables.

2 Are these QE curves really the best available data? They don't appear
  to contain enough real information to be useful. Please supply useful
  data.

3 Are the filter tables correct?

4 If reasonable, combine the filter, QE and product tables into a single
  table for each array.

5 The methane filter table seems to be listed in descending wavelength
  instead of ascending wavelength as in the other files.  Check if this
  is just a sorting problem, and correct accordingly.

6 Label descriptions for "transmittance" columns do not accurately 
  describe whether the transmittance is expressed as a percentage or
  fraction.  This needs to be stated explicitly.

7 The abbreviations "mfr", "mcl" and "mp" need to be defined somewhere
  prominent - "calinfo.txt" would be a good place.  Also consider
  adding acronym definitions to the data set catalog file description
  following the instrument observation designators table.

8 Consider changing the TARGET_NAME for all references to "2002 JF56"
  to "(132524) APL".  Also add the final name to the target list in 
  the data set catalog file. (This will have to be done by SBN after
  delivery).

9 Add "2002 JF56" to the sequence ID table in the dataset.cat file of 
  the post-launch data.

Jupiter Raw & Processed

1 Liens # 1-7 from Post-Launch and Check-out data apply here as well.

2 Target catalog files need to be either restored or replaced with 
  useful information (SBN will have to do this).

3 If possible, add a table of science objectives for imaging sequences
  to the documentation.

4 If possible, add a BROWSE/ directory with thumbnails that link back
  to the full data files (as was done for Deep Impact).

5 Consider moving the TARGET_NAME in the index table closer to the 
  left edge of the table.  Alternately, supply a user index of selected
  columns in the INDEX/ directory.  Note that the dataset.html page
  should also direct users to this index.

SDC - All
=========
1 In the housekeeping telemetry files there are temperatures given
  without units.  Please specify units.

2 Change day-of-year to date in trajectory file.

3 Add MET to all files that have UTC 

4 The SDC On/Off file is either not sorted or contains repeated 
  information.  Please adjust as needed.

5 Need additional description of how the mass uncertainty was 
  determined.  Details can go into documentation files, but the label
  needs at least a short explanation in the column DESCRIPTIONs as
  well.  (See section 13.4.1 ICD)

6 Labels here shouldn't really be talking about light reflected from
  the dust particles.

7 In the aareadme file, please consistently include volume references
  for documents listed under "Required Reading" (as is done for the
  Mission catalog file reference in the preceding section).

NOTE: The binary FITS tables are particularly difficult for non-FITS 
  and non-IDL users to access.  Is it possible to supply a single ASCII
  table of the entire collection?  Or binary table?  Or is there 
  some reliable software we need to point users to from the SBN web
  pages?

8 Labels need to include pointing information for dust detector.

9 If possible, add metric units to the instrument description.
