Ancilliary (.anc) FileDescription

Ancilliary files are ASCIItext files that contain ancilliary data to the sum and spec files. Thefollowing gives an example of a line from a KI anc file:

ANC 01/01/2004/04:42:05 4.701388 HDC12846 0.497 0.674 10506.4 0.174 1.582 1.646 328117.1 237813.2 20 1.0340 2.5803 0.0350 0.1200 1.0350 2.5900 0.0050 0.0180 1424.4 672 0.45 0.65 1221.4 672 0.45 0.65

The line consists ofa number of space-delimited fields. The meanings of these fields are summarizedin the table below. Each line corresponds to a block average of data (typically from 5 to 25 seconds of fringe data, not necessarily contiguous). All entries are mean values for the block. For ease of comparison with fringe data, someof the value from the summary file are repeated here. A # as theleading character indicates a comment. A value of 0 generally means thatthe data item was not available in the archive file.
