VG2 SAT LECP CALIBRATED RESAMPLED SCAN AVERAGED 15MIN V1.0

This browse data consists of resampled data from the Low Energy Charged Particle (LECP) experiment on Voyager 2 while the spacecraft was in the vicinity of Saturn. This instrument measures the intensities of in-situ charged particles (>26 keV electrons and >30 keV ions) with various levels of discrimination based on energy, mass species, and angular arrival direction. A subset of almost 100 LECP channels are included with this data set. The LECP data are globally calibrated to the extent possible (see below) and they are time averaged to about 15 minute time intervals with the exact beginning and ending times for those intervals matching the LECP instrumental cycle periods (the angular scanning periods). The LECP instrument has a rotating head for obtaining angular anisotropy measurements of the medium energy charged particles that it measures. The cycle time for the rotation is variable, but during encounters it is always faster than 15 minutes. For this browse data set only scan average data is given (no angular information). The data is in the form of 'rate' data which has not been converted to the usual physical units.
