General information about SPICE SCL-kernels
===========================================

   In the SPICE system, the Spacecraft Clock Kernel (SCLK) contains
   information required to perform a mapping between Ephemeris time (ET)
   and spacecraft on-board time (SCLK).

   The spacecraft clock coefficient information contained in a
   SCLK file can be manipulated by a collection subroutines that
   are part of the SPICELIB library, the major component of the NAIF
   Toolkit. These subroutines can be integrated into user application
   programs. Information about obtaining the SPICE Toolkit is located
   in the "software" subdirectory of the main directory of this dataset.

   Refer to the SCLK Required Reading (sclk.req) document provided with
   the Toolkit or available from the NAIF Node of the PDS, to get more
   information on how to convert between ET and spacecraft clock times.


Cassini SCL-kernels contained in this directory 
===============================================

   This volume contains the following Cassini SCLK files (only the leading
   portion of the file name is shown; the extension of all file names is
   ".tsc"):

        cas[vvvvv]

   where

           [vvvvv]               is the file version (example: ``00005''
                                 for Version 5);

   If multiple versions of an SCLK file are provided, always use the
   latest version unless an earlier version is needed for consistency
   purposes.


Kernel File Details
===================

   The most detailed description of the data in an SCLK file is provided
   in metadata included inside the descriptive text areas within the
   file. This information can be viewed using any text editor.
