9.5.4 Tape/Storage Source Attributes (R). This group describes the attributes required when the data source is a magnetic tape as specified in Chapter 6 or a data storage device as specified in Chapter 10. In the case of the tape data link identification, each data source must be identified. In some cases the data source identification may be identical, particularly when the same information has been received from different receiver sites, on different polarizations, or on different carriers for redundancy purposes. Some of the information requested will be available only from the recording site or the dubbing location.

Figure 9-4 indicates the information required. Various categories of information have been included. In the data section of the attributes, it will be necessary to repeat the items until all of the data sources have been defined, including the multiple tracks, which contain ground station data of interest. Table 9-3 defines the information required. Any nonstandard tape recordings will require explanation in the comments and may require supplemental definition.
