Most of the sub-instruments have pulse height (PH) data and pulse count (PC) data. PH is essentially a spectrum with counts as a function of energy, and PC is the sum of all counts for a given energy range.
The structure for the WBS data has numerous tags. Some of the data tags and types of data available are listed below.
SXS has two detectors with a 2-channel PC and 128-channel PH for each detector. The energies listed below are nominal values.
