This file contains 80 character ASCII text records describing the instrument channel information. For each satellite/instrument combination, there is an instrument description block which must conform strictly to the following format:

Format	Description
Sat ss1..ssn	First line of instrument description block, where ss1..ssn is a list of SSEC assigned satellite sensor numbers
Cal type	Instrument calibration type
BRes lres eres	Line and element base resolution (in km)
**nnnn DESC='description' WL=wavel WN=waven**	Channel number (nnnn), text description of channel (description; appears in output of IMGLIST FORM=BAND or ALL), wavelength (wavel), and wave number (waven)
EndSat	Last line of instrument description block

This file is supplied with McIDAS-X.

There is one instrument description block for each supported satellite.

For satellites that support multiple calibration types, the combination of Cal, BRes, and nnnn lines may be repeated for each calibration type.
