Parameter #4
Name
Quality flag
Description

The flag parameter indicates: 0) No identified issues, 1) Bad fit, likely EUV or SEP contamination, 2) Too low temperature for the instrument to reliably resolve the Maxwellian 3) IMA was running in a badly suited Post-acceleration (PAC) level. 4) Solar wind observed in partially blocked FOV bin. 5) Solar wind density was smaller than 1 PART/CM**3. All entries are averaged from scan-wise moments with flag = 0, but the flag column is kept for possible future use.
