From https://sxi.ngdc.noaa.gov/sxi_data_notes.html as of May 2018 : GOES SXI File Naming Convention Image data: SXI_yyyymmdd_hhmmssfff_pv_nn.FTS (29 characters) 'yyyymmdd_hhmmssfff' UTC date (DATE_OBS). The fff section represents fraction of a second. 'p' data product code, i.e., p = 'A' => Level-0 p = 'B' => Level-1 The remainder of the alphabet is available for Level-2 product codes. 'v' processing version code, i.e., Reprocessed data will be differentiated by incrementing the version code. 'nn' satellite ID (i.e., GOES-nn) ...and I'm seeing names like : -rw-rw-r-- 1 noien noien 1497600 May 18 09:26 SXI_20180308_000400152_BA_15.FTS -rw-rw-r-- 1 noien noien 650880 May 18 09:35 SXI_20180308_025900157_AB_15.FTS -rw-rw-r-- 1 noien noien 1497600 May 18 09:35 SXI_20180308_025900157_BA_15.FTS -rw-rw-r-- 1 noien noien 547200 May 18 09:53 SXI_20060815_000018110_AA_12.FTS -rw-rw-r-- 1 noien noien 1074240 May 18 09:53 SXI_20060815_000018110_BB_12.FTS GOES-12 SXI Instrument Summary : The SXI telescope images the sun in wavelengths ranging from soft X-rays to extreme ultraviolet. These filters are available [#, wavelength in angstroms, filter name, (Metadata entry)] 01, 6-65, Poly thin (P_THN_A) 02, UV, UV diffuser 03, 6-65, Poly thin (P_THN_B) 04, 6-60, Poly medium (P_MED_B) 05, 6-20, Be thin (B_THN_B) 06, 6-16, Be medium (B_MED) 07, 6-12, Be thick (B_THK) 08, 0-0, Radiation shield (RDSH) 09, 6-80, Open (OPEN) 10, 6-20, Be thin (B_THN_A) 11, 6-50, Poly thick (P_THK) 12, 6-60, Poly medium (P_MED_A) Each image is a 512 x 512 array with 5 arcsec pixels. GOES-12 SXI Metadata : The browse display includes a drop list containing a short set of metadata: DATE_OBS - Earth-adjusted time of observation, UT IMG_CODE - Intent of the images: FL = Flares CS = Coronal Structures AR = Active Regions BG = Background TST = Test MSFC = Startup sequence WAVELENGTH - filter name. MCPGAIN - Microchannel Plate detector gain setting in volts. EXP_TIME - measured exposure duration.. IMG_WDI - Whole disk intensity (units TBD) IMG_MIN - Image minimum intensity (units TBD) IMG_MAX - Image maximum intensity (units TBD) SAT_PIX - Saturated pixel count. Filename.
