Updates will be reported in this file, ERRATA.TXT through release 31. Future updates will appear in the release_notes product in the document collection of this bundle. Older versions of data and documentation will be retained in the archive no longer than six months. Future updates will appear in the release_notes product in the document collection of this bundle. Section A of this file contains an entry for each APXS RDR data release, with most recent entries listed first. Updates to previously released files are reported in these entries, along with any known errata. Section B of this file contains general notes, if any, concerning the archive as a whole. 2023-12-05 NOTE: This file, ERRATA.TXT, contains release notes and errata concerning the MSL APXS RDR archive through release 31.

It describes an issue with the internal HV gradually starting around sol 1000. It impacted only the MnO concentration values. A parameter upload on sol 1267 fixed this issue. The previous data were refitted with an adjusted fit model. All concentrations till sol 1293 are contained in this file with adjusted MnO values before sol 1267.

RELEASE NUMBER: 1 RELEASE DATE: 2013-03-20 DATA COVERAGE: 2012-08-06 to 2012-11-05 (Sols 0-89) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: APXS_RSP, APXS_RWP PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None REASON FOR UPDATES: N/A This is the first APXS RDR release. Errata: In the CALIB directory, calibration files with names of the pattern *_SPECTRUM_*.CSV have a single header record, but their PDS labels describe them incorrectly as having two header records. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION B This section is provided for general notes concerning the archive as a whole. September 2, 2018. Two files in the EXTRAS directory have been corrected. File msl_apxs_concentrations_1870_2003.csv - Entry sol 1870, target Paltberg_DRT, startTime 19:50:16 removed. - Entry sol 1870, target Waboomberg, startTime 21:40:07 removed. - Missing carriage-return and line-feed characters were added to the end of the header row in the table. File msl_apxs_concentrations_1418_1869.csv - Entry Sol 1725, target Barr_Hill edited - Duplicate values in column source_edrs removed. April 9, 2015. Calibration file APXS_PFM2008_SPECTRUM_GH.CSV and its label have been deleted from the CALIB directory. This file was mislabeled, and was identical to calibration file APXS_PFM2008_SPECTRUM_GSN.CSV. No spectrum of the sample GH was taken with the APXS PFM. MSL: LOCAL_MEAN_SOLAR_TIME values contain a colon at the point where the fractional seconds component of the time value begins. This colon, at the far right of the time value, should be a period. The labels for the next release will show the correct format.
