DETECTOR

Name of detector used to acquire the data

Name of the Sensor Chip Assembly (SCA) detector used to acquire the data. The APID-to-detector map is configured in the S&OC Project Reference Database (PRD). During science SSR file processing, the APID is obtained from the SSR data and is used to get the DETECTOR from the PRD table. It identifies the physical SCA detector from which the pixel values in the data array were read.
