 +When browsing the SPICE catalog and archive you will see the following codes:
 +
 +**n-ras**: a raster scan with one of the narrow slits (2", 4" or 6")\\
 +**w-ras**: a raster scan with the wide slit (30"​)\\
 +**n-sit**: a sit-and-stare study with one of the narrow slits\\
 +**w-sit**: a sit-and-stare study with the wide slit\\
 +**n-exp**: a single exposure with a narrow slit that yields the entire spectrum\\
 +**w-exp**: a single exposure with the wide slit that yields the entire spectrum
 +
 +For the "​ras"​ data, the FITS file contains a single raster scan. If the raster is repeated, then each repeat goes in a new file.
 +
 +Rasters can be performed in the "​exp"​ mode, but each exposure will end up in a different FITS file.

 +===== Ephemeris information =====
 +
 +You can access ephemeris information from the SPICE headers. For example, the keywords:
 +
 +DSUN\_AU - distance of the spacecraft from the Sun in AU\\
 +EAR\_TDEL - light travel time from the spacecraft to Earth (seconds)
 +
 +The full list of keywords is given in the [[https://​spice.ias.u-psud.fr/​spice-data/​documents/​SPICE-UIO-DPDD-0002-1.4-Data_Product_Description_Document.pdf|DPDD]] - search for "Solar ephemeris keywords"​.
 +
 +Users should make sure to correct the SPICE observing times for EAR\_TDEL in order to compare with observations from Earth-orbiting spacecraft. This is especially important for highly-dynamic structures such as flares or CMEs.
