Instrument (file format)

This template file format can store different observations in a epoch wise manner. Each epoch consists of a time and additional data, e.g orbits, accelerometer data, star camera quaternions (see InstrumentType). The time series can be divided in several arcs (see InstrumentSynchronize).

Also a matrix file is allowed as one single arc. The first column must contain times [MJD]. Without any extra column the instrument type is INSTRUMENTTIME, with one additional column the type is MISCVALUE, and for more columns the type MISCVALUES is used.
