PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = STREAM OBJECT = TEXT PUBLICATION_DATE = 2014-06-06 NOTE = "Description of contents of DOCUMENT directory" END_OBJECT = TEXT END The DOCUMENT directory contains the files that provide documentation and supplementary information to assist in understanding and using the data products on the volume. The documents listed below represent the maximum of available documents. Not all have to be present for one specific measurement. For IFMS (NNO) measurements refer mainly to VRA_DOC, for DSN measurements to DSN_DOC. The documents are either in PDF-Format or are text files in ASCII with variable length of characters per line. Each line is delimited with a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair. The following refers only for DSN documents: There are two types of "documentation" in this directory. Simple text files have attached PDS labels and file names ending with the extension *.TXT. Complex documents are defined by a PDS label file which has a name ending with *.LBL. The label file points to at least one readable text file and (possibly) other files in formats such as MicroSoft Word, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), etc. Simple text files have fixed-length lines of 80 characters. Lines are delimited by carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pairs in positions 79 and 80 of each line. Label files for the complex documents also have fixed-length lines of 80 characters, delimited by carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pairs in positions 79 and 80. Readable text files in plain ASCII have file name extensions *.ASC; readable files in HTML format have file name extensions *.HTM. Both have variable length lines delimited by carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pairs.
