FT1Energy (MeV) estimate for energy
FT1Theta,FT1Phi (deg) reconstructed direction with respect to instrument coordinate system
FT1Ra,FT1Dec (deg) reconstructed direction in equatorial coordinates
FT1ZenithTheta,FT1EarthAzimuth (deg) reconstucted direction with respect to local zenith system
FT1ConvPointX,FT1ConvPointY,FT1ConvPointZ (m) conversion point of event, whether single track or vertex, 999 if no tracks
FT1Livetime (s) Cumulative live time, from start of run, or mission

FilterAlg Variables

Variable Description
FilterStatus_HI bits 15-31 of the filter status word
FilterStatus_LO bits 0-14 of the filter status word
FilterAlgStatus Status generated by FilterAlg
FilterAngSep Filter status separation .

These items are added to the merit tuple to give the current instrument orientation.

  • PtTime (s) Current time, same as the elapsed time
  • PtLat,PtLon (deg) lattitude and longitude
  • PtAlt (km) altitude
  • PtMagLat magnetic latitude
  • PtPos[3] (m) current orbit position
  • PtRax,PtDecx (deg) equatorial coordinates for orientation of S/C x-axis
  • PtRaz,PtDecz (deg) equatorial coordinates for orientation of S/C z-axis
