<H5>Dartcom 16-bit HRPT Format</H5>
A Dartcom 16-bit HRPT image is stored in the form of six component
files. Only the RAW and RPD files are used by FIMPORT. A Dartcom
RAW file contains the scanline or video data. This is the file which
must be used in conjunction with FIMPORT. The Dartcom RPD file
is an auxiliary text file that contains information such as the
satellite name, date/time of image capture, and orbital element values.
The information from the RPD file (if present) is read into a text
segment by FIMPORT. There is no Earth location data in Dartcom RAW
or RPD files, hence, FIMPORT does not create a GCP segment for the
Dartcom format. A RPD file must have the same basename as the
corresponding RAW file, but with a different extension. It must also
reside in the same directory as the RAW file.
