... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

... Next, consider a more elaborate UBVRI photometer with two channels (a ``red'' and a ``blue'' tube). We suppose it has separate filter wheels in the two beams; the first filter wheel contains the UBV filters, and the second has the R and I filters. ... If the filter wheels had been in series instead of in separate beams, the unused wheel would have to be set to a clear position, instead of the ``any'' entered in the first five lines of Table . ...

. Located in the focal plane of the telescope, PlanckтАЩs Low Frequency Instrument (LFI), and the High Frequency Instrument (HFI), are equipped with a total of 74 detectors covering nine frequency channels. These detectors must be cooled to temperatures around or below 20 Kelvin so that their heat does not swamp the faint microwave signals they are designed to detect. Credit: ESA/AOES Medialab)
