The summary parameter data are one minute averages. It is possible for these parameters to be generated by averaging the PPD or by calculating directly from the raw data. Note that the minute averages are based on exact minute boundaries, whereas the PPD are based on spin periods. Consequently, if data accuracy is likely to be affected by the mismatch of PPD boundaries with SPD boundaries, the SPD should be calculated directly from averaging raw data and not from the PPD.
The Summary Parameters must be generated by the PI provided software and output to the Summary Parameter Interface File.
