The example above converts to 2013-03-17/05:00 UT. There are 1200 time values stored in each file.   LATITUDE: data.latitude.data[0] = 45.0000   This data is the geographic latitude in degrees of the 400x400 grid of data points. There are 400 latitude values stored in each file.   LONGITUDE: data.LONGITUDE.data[0] =  180.000   This data is the geographic longitude in degrees of the 400x400 grid of data points. There are 400 longitude values stored in each file.   CONDUCTANCE: data.conductance.data[0] = -1.0000000e+31   This data is the Hall conductance in mho measured at 45 deg latitude, 180 deg longitude. The value in this example indicates that no conductance was measured here. A valid value would be something in the range of 0.00043800000 to 88 mho. There are 1200x400x400 conductance values stored in each file.   ENERGY FLUX: data.eflux.data[0] = -1.00000e+31   This data is the energy flux in ergs/cm^2/s measured at 45 deg latitude, 180 deg longitude. The value in this example indicates that no energy flux was measured here. A valid value would be something in the range of 0.01 to 1100.0000 ergs/cm^2/s. There are 1200x400x400 energy flux values stored in each file.   ENERGY: data.energy.data[0] = -1.00000e+31   This data is the energy in keV measured at 45 deg latitude, 180 deg longitude. The value in this example indicates that no energy was measured here. A valid value would be something in the range of 0.01 to 22 keV. There are 1200x400x400 energy values stored in each file.   2.
