The complete list of CSDS attributes are provided in the reference document DS-QMW-TN-0003. Most of these attributes are defined within the skeleton file and require no input from the actual data processing software. The following table lists the attributes which are not supplied in the skeleton file and identifies which attributes are to be ingested via the .iff file, and their source. The .iff file will be a concatenation of a file generated by the CDHF software and controlling script, and that produced by the PI provided software. These sources are distinguished in the following table under the heading `Source'. An entry `.iff' indicates that this is to be placed in the interface file, and this will be accompanied by either `RDA' indicating that it is written into the interface file by the RDA software or controlling script (CDHF provided) or `Inst' indicating that it is to form part of the instrument data reduction software output to the interface file. An entry `QMW' indicates that the attribute is constructed internally by the QMW provided CDF writing software. An entry CSDS indicates that this attribute is written into the CDF file by the CSDS UI validation software. The column `Entry' indicates whether the attribute allows multiple (M) entries or only single (S) entries.
Note that all attribute time information should be given in UTC in standard ISO form, e.g., 1993-06-24T13:05:22.000Z. Note that date fields which are not part of a UTC time are 8 character strings of the form yyyymmdd, which is the ISTP preferred format.
