This data set contains Van Allen Probe B RBSPICE (Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment) TOF x (Time of Flight) energy of heavy ions (i.e., helium and oxygen) that are measured at high-energy and low-time resolution by 6 telescopes in 28 channels from ~0.02-1.0 MeV and are available in physical units (counts/(ssrcm^2*MeV) by telescope in sector order. Also available are percentage error of measurement, quality flag, current sector number where each spin is dividied into 36 sectors, duration of the accumulation, current spin number of the spacecraft, orbit number, dipole L value using the SM reference frame, and position of the spacecraft in SM coordinates.

Ephemeris Time of the start of the accumulation for this measurement.
UTC
SCLOCK_Full
The ephemeris time at the start of the measurement.
The ephemeris time at the mid-point of the measurement. For multi-spin measurements the midET is centered so that it properly represents the time to be used to calculate the look direction of the instrument.
The ephemeris time at the end of the accumulation of the measurement
Identifies the telescope used to collect the measurement
Channel
Midpoint energy of the measurement channel. A value of -1 indicates that an energy definition for this channel is not applicable
FHeDU: Helium flux spectrograms in energy, by telescope in sector order (multi-spin accums plotted at end of accum)
Telescope-energy images
The percentage error of the measurement.
RMS Error of the natural log of the flux for each channel.
Quality flag for the measurement for each telescope/channel/timestep. .see PREBM standards for definition
The current sector number where each spin is divided into 36 sectors.
Duration of the accumulation.
The current spin number of the spacecraft
Midpoint energy of the measurement channel. A value of -1 indicates that an energy definition for this channel is not applicable
Minimum and Maximum energy of the measurement channel. A value of -1 indicates that either an energy definition for this channel is not applicable or that the upper end of the channel is undefined - i.e. the channel becomes integral.
