# Definitions of the fields in ard.tbl files, to be kept in this
# directory.

# Note: "::" is the delimiter between the field name and the field
# description. This is for possible software readibility by LaTeX
# macros or by IDL.  The field description may extend over several
# lines, but must not have another "::" string.

instrument::		Instrument name from ARD.tbl.

			Interface Products (CIP)

filetype::		The type of file: examples are:
			    FITS bintable
			    FITS image
			    parameter
			If there is a name convention, give it.
			If it is a parameter file, name it, and give
			    the parameter name.

specification reference:: Where is the product defined?  Name the ICD
			  if there is one.  Other possible
			  specifications: tool book, stand-alone
			  document (which may be in this directory
			  tree).

			  (THERE MUST BE A SPECIFICATION OTHER THAN BY
			  EXAMPLE! (but and example is good for a
			  DRAFT)). 

tool::	  If there is a single tool which creates the product, name it.

sample file::  Sample files should be put in the appropriate
	       subdirectory of ../ARD/DRAFT/.  When it is approved, a
	       copy will go into ../ARD/Approved/, with a version
	       number attached.

	       If the product is a parameter, then this should be a
	       line from the relevant parameter file, commented with
	       the appropriate parameter limits. (e.g., data_prod.par)

update log::  List dates and initials when substantial changes are made.
