ERRATUM TO GSPC CALIBRATION REPORT

(EXPRESS NO. 11)


Because of a typing error the channel boundary definition was given incorrectly (
page 53). The convention is:

E = (N - 0.5).GP + 0.150


where N is 0-255 (as defined in the FOTH). This formula applies to both gain 1.0 and 2.0 (with GP different by a factor of 2). The zero reference point is at the lower boundary of channel N = 1.0. To bin gain 2.0 into gain 1.0 data the convention is:

CH (0)1.0 = CH (0)2.0
CH (1)1.0 = CH (1)2.0 + CH (2)2.0
CH (2)1.0 = CH (3)2.0 + CH (4)2.0
etc ...
