4. SAX Final Observation Tapes

Final Observation Tapes (FOTs, the name being mutuated from the EXOSAT mission) are the way by which SAX observation data are made available to observers by SAX-SDC.
The layout of FOT tapes is described elsewhere.

The first step of SAX data reduction (and the only one truly mission-dependent) is the filing of tape data to disk. This is done

setting the appropriate environment variables
mounting a tape in a tape drive
invoking the fotfile command

After this one will find the requested subset of the following telemetry files on disk.
