SIS Written by Howard McCallon, version 1.1, 05/26/2011

Interface Name:     BMD (Bundle-level MFPRex Meta-Data file)

Type of Interface:  ASCII file in IPAC table format

DESCRIPTION:

The BMD file is written once per MFPRex bundle per iteration and contains a number of variables of interest regarding processing of the bundle for the given iteration.  Formally BMD is an IPAC Table File, but it's unique in that functionally it's more like a table file on it's side with a single record per variable. Each variable is provided with a description as part of the entry. Typically a number of BMD files will later be combined to build table files which subset the BMD variables and provide one record per bundle iteration. 

NAMING CONVENTION: BIDxxxxx-BMD-itnnn.tbl, where "BIDxxxxx" is the bundle ID & "nnn" the iteration number

EXAMPLE:
