SUMMARY

The definition of FITS file keywords and table columns conforms to the standard for the GBT project as a whole.

In conclusion it is important to emphasize that the scan data FITS files contain only a Primary HDU, which lists keywords to describe the BCPM setup for the observation. Measurement data is written via independent software running locally on the BCPM workstations in separate data files; the format of the measurement data files does not conform to the FITS specification.
