This file, ERRATA.TXT, contains release notes and errata concerning the
MSL RAD RDR archive.
During the course of the MSL mission the RAD science team may update
previously released data products or documentation; for example, updates may
occur due to changes in calibration data or procedures. Updates will be
reported in this file.
Section A of this file contains an entry for each MSL release with
general information about the contents of the release, in order from newest
to oldest. Updates to previously released files are reported in these
entries, along with any known errata.
Section B of this file contains general notes and errata, if any,
concerning the archive as a whole.

This release, like some earlier releases, contained some redundant

to remove these files.
The generation of RDR data in release 16 was interrupted by a
technical issue. Until the effects of this interruption are
better understood, users should exercise caution in using these
data. In particular, users should be alert to the possibility of
offsets in the times listed in the files. (In general, users
should be alert to the possibility of timing errors in the RDR
files; see Section B below.)

Timing errors have been found in about 20 percent of the RDR data
files. An ASCII file (TIMING_ERRORS.TXT) describing some of these
errors is in the present volume in the DOCUMENT directory. The RAD
team plans to correct these errors and to re-release the data in
a future release.
Due to errors related to the timing issues (see above), the data in the
file RAD_RDR_2013_123_21_52_0222_V00.TXT are redundant. The same data
are in the file RAD_RDR_2013_081_04_32_0222_V00.TXT. Only the
file header lines are different. (There also may be other redundant
data files in this RDR archive. See section B below for details.)
******** SECTION B ********
This section is provided for general notes concerning the archive as a whole.
Some of the data files in this archive contain redundant data, identical to
the data in another file except for header lines. See Section A above for
details on some of these files. Data users are advised that there may be
multiple data files which differ only in their file headers.
Some of the data files in this archive contain timing errors. Data
users are advised to be alert to the possibility of such errors in the
data. (Some of these errors are described in Section A above for
releases 1, 2 and 3.)
Some documents in this archive appear in Portable Document Format (PDF)
files. PDF files can be read using free software available at www.adobe.com.
PDS requires that a PDF document be accompanied by an ASCII text
version; however, this has not been done for some PDF files in this archive
because the documents contain figures, tables, equations, or other content
that cannot be rendered as ASCII text. HTML is sometimes used as an
alternative to plain ASCII, but in this case suitable HTML versions that
captured all the content of the PDF could not be created.
