SCETF

I*1

Spacecraft Event Time Flag-indicates that the spacecraft clock has been corrected in some manner in the JPL processing.  Bit 0 indicates correction to the line count (0=none, 1=corrected) bit 1 the MOD60 counter and bit 2 the MOD2**16 counter.

9

7

MOD216

I*2

Mod2**16 Spacecraft Clock Word-contains the spacecraft Mod2**16 word for the first minor frame of the current record. This word is incremented every 48 minutes on the overflow of the Mod60 counter
