The Corona Mode
Software Interface Specification (SIS) - Description of the instrument and data structures
Raw Data - The files will contain both images and tables. Many fields are direct unconverted copies of telemetry produced by the instrument. The units for such fields, data numbers (DN), may represent ADC counts, encoder steps, discrete time intervals, and so on. See the SIS section 6.1.1.Table 18: Raw data file structure.
Calibrated Data - The files are similar in structure to the raw products but the data are calibrated spectral radiance in units of kilorayleighs/nm, along with estimates of uncertainty and engineering telemetry has been translated from DN to physical units. See the SIS section 6.1.2 Table 19: Calibrated data file structure.
Processed data are calibrated data that have been reduced by isolating emission features and implementing spatial binning to facilitate processing. See the SIS section 6.1.3 Table 21: Corona processed data file structure.
Derived data Caveats & Data files - IUVS derived data files vary among observation modes. They contain derived densities and column abundances at the native geometry of the observation and/or on a regular grid in altitude or latitude and longitude, as appropriate. See the SIS section 6.1.4 Table 28: Corona derived data file structure.

Selected data can be retrieved in 2 ways
1) Downloading an index, selecting components and uploading your selection.
Indices that tabulate information associated with each product are available. The associated geometry is given at the time of the midpoint of the observation.
2) Selecting specific parameters and requesting limited data files
