(Ormes, note added 4/20/07) - The implmentation meets my original intentions. Having the elapsed total time and the live time are sufficient for the necessary cross checks.

3. McIlwain coordinates
(Digel) These are geomagnetic coordinates and presumably useful in some way for studying variations in residual background. The actual model we are using for the background depends on geomagnetic latitude, however, rather than the McIlwain L, B. I'm not entirely sure that we need (i.e., that anyone will use) L, B, but I won't propose removing them. I would like to propose including geomagnetic latitude, however, as an additional column.

(Ormes 4/20/07) Thanks. This will be helpful and avoid having any confusion that might be caused by the user having a separate lookup table to get it back.

4. IN_SAA column
...
(J. Chiang 4/23/07) Unless there is a good reason to change it to 'LAT_POINTING_HIST', I recommend that we change the documentation to use 'SC_DATA'. I recall having exchanges/conversations agreeing to change it from the obscure 'Ext1' to 'SC_DATA'. I do not recall similar exchanges regarding any change to 'LAT_POINTING_HIST'.
5/16/07: We'll stick with SC_DATA. This means that the Science Data Products File Format Document will need to be updated.
