6

5

SCETY

I*2

Spacecraft Event Time, Year-contains the last two digits of the current year (i.e., 77, 78)

7

8

7

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
