Data Access
This descriptor identifies an ensemble of 8 data sets of EPAM count rates averaged over 1-day intervals in each of several energy bins. One data set (PG65) has spin-averaged rates while the other 7 have rates in each of 4 or 8 spin sectors. Each of the 7 sectored data sets is specific to a given one of the several EPAM instruments (apertures). Each of the 8 data sets is individually described in the VHO/VEPO interface at https://vho.gsfc.nasa.gov.

Overview of EPAM instrument, terminology, species and energy bins
The Explanation.html page at Fundamental Technologies (FTECS) describes how the numeric data from the Ulysses HISCALE instrument are divided into different print-groups (referred to as "data sets" above), the nomenclature of the ASCII-based comma-separated variable (CSV) files, and how those files can be accessed. Owing to their great similarities, "this file works for both EPAM and HISCALE." - TPA
