The BeppoSAX data, and specifically the GRBM data, are available in the form of Final Observation Tape (FOT, see section 1.1.3). Because the production of FOT
from the telemetry data requires typically 2-3 days, GRBM data are also made available to the GRBM hardware group directly in the raw format (section 1.1.3) for prompt preliminary analysis. This is the case of GRBM+WFC detected GRB, for which a quick and prompt estimation of gamma-ray duration, peak flux and fluence is can be very useful for the scientific community.
Raw and FOT data reduction require different procedures to produce data in the
final XAS format.
