LITE Level 1 Data Format Description Document

                          LITE Level 1 Data Format
                          
Note 1: In several cases the name for a data field in the IDL code is different from the common name.  Where it is
different, the IDL name is indicated at the end of field description and is prefixed with 'IDL STRUCT NAME:'
Note 2: Some of the IDL names seem to be misspelled such as 'callibrationstatus355' (two l's). DO NOT "correct" them!
