again to begin your search, and perhaps choose data by proposal number
(called PRNB within Browse), ObsID etc. Then click Submit.
A successful search will display the corresponding
catalogue entries, i.e. the ObsIDs, one per line. Check the box(es) to the

Below this listing, you'll find a choice of categories of
data:
GIF Standard Products Only of a Single RXTE Observation (GIFS)
Standard Products (including GIFs) of a Single RXTE Observation (STDPRODS)
Complete Data Directory of a Single RXTE Observation (FULL OBSID)
(Note that the STDPRODS includes the GIFS in the category above, and
the FULL OBSID includes the STDPRODS and GIFS.) Choose one by
clicking on it to highlight it.
Then click on the radio button to Retrieve data
products in selected categories (or List products in
the selected categories and then retrieve the products as a
subsequent command).
Click on Submit. Browse will now
construct the appropriate tar command, and tar up the data you have
requested. This may take a while.
Browse will bring up a new page when your tar job is
complete. You may now click on Download TAR file to
initiate the transfer of the tar file to your host machine. Make
sure you have enough disk space! - the total size of the tar file
will be indicated.
When untarred, your data files and index files will appear
in the usual configuration for RXTE datasets, as described
above
