                             Electron correction (e-corr) indicates that the
                             particle was given an electron status by the H/W
                             but this was changed by the on-board interrupt
                             handler based on D1 pulse height.

 1) Discrimation bits are valid only for MAINT-mode data, otherwise all 0.

 2) e-corr information in pri is consistently valid only from OSS-2.40
    onwards (since 19 April 2000). A couple of earlier versions offer it also:
    OSS-2.30 (23-24 Feb 2000) and OSS-2.31 (14-29 Mar 2000).

 3) The S1XH2 warning flag (obCat b7) is set by the SClev2to4 program following
    a heuristic evaluation. The flag is valid only from OSS-2.50 onwards (since 
    3 July 2001).

 4) Index of this particle in the level-2 PHA record file for this day. Some of
    the PHA events will be discarded during the ground analysis so there is no
    one-to-one match between the level-2 and level-3 particle entries. So if you
    need to get the matching level-2 PHA record for any level-3 particle, you can
    (and must) use this index to identify the corresponding level-2 entry.
