NOTES		     : This is an example of combination of observations during 3 days:  54589; 1:41-2:06,  54590; 2:48-3:15, 54591; 2:21-2:47. I also added an additional energy bin. For this spectra, I added an additional energy bin (with respect to previous days).

ANALSYS_FLAG         : F
QUALITY_FLAG         : B
NOTES		     : PCU 2 trip-off. No observations could be made. This is an example of observation that could not be performed. Note that the QUALITY_FLAG was set to B (bad). The fluxes are set to zero because the instrument was not operative. There could be cases with a non-zero "measured flux" even though the instrument did not perform well. It is important to set the flag to B (bad) so that this point is not used.
