(LOLA-6) LOLA Processed Laser Ranging Data
==========================================
This file contains the LOLA processed one-way laser ranging fire time 
from data processing based on the telemetry that LOLA received from the 
LRO MOC as part of the real-time and post- pass s/c and instrument 
housekeeping and measurement telemetry.

This product consists of several header records that are used to 
provide general information, such as station, target, and start time; 
these header records are fixed format.

The file also contains configuration records, which contain an expanded 
version of data previously described by the System Configuration Indicator 
(SCI) and system CHange Indicator (SCH) fields. 

The file contains the data records, which provide the laser transmit 
and receive times, and other highly dynamic information. 

Both the configuration and data records are free format with spaces 
between entries. 

Note: See Section 4.3.6 of the External Systems Interface Control 
        Document for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Ground System 
        for a description of the file.

The filename consists of 14 characters; it also contains a three-character 
file extension name. There are underscores (_) between the file name fields 
and a period (.) between the file name and file extension fields. The form 
of the filename is as follows:
   <instrument id>_<YYYYMMDD>.<Ext>
where
   instrument id = [5 characters] used to define the mission and the 
                   laser ranging station site, for example LROLR
   Date          = YYYYMMDD ; where 
                      YYYY = 4 digit year (2009 - 2013) 
                      MM = 2 digit month (01 - 12) 
                      DD = 2 digit day (01 - 31)
