Data Words
----------
 
    Data types: B(bit), I, F, D(double), H(hollerith 4 char)
 
     Data words:

     +1  I  KCASL_VER     CASL database version number
     +2  I  KCASL_NUM     Number of cal sources in list

     Tail sector, one for each source

     +3  I  KCASL_SIN     Source identifer/serial number (see note 1)
     +4  I  KCASL_DATE    Date of source manufacture (see note 3)
     +5  I  KCASL_EBM     Enabled bank mask (see note 2)
     +6  I  KCASL_SRCMSK  Source mask for this source (same mask definition as RHDR)
     +7  F  KCASL_DX      Offset from manipulator position to source center in X
     +8  F  KCASL_DY      Offset from manipulator position to source center in Y
     +9  F  KCASL_DZ      Offset from manipulator position to source center in Z
 +10..13 H  KCASL_NAME    16 character source name, 4 chars/word
 +14..24 H  KCASL_DESC    44 character source description, 4 chars/word

     Notes:
 
     1) The serial number of each version of every source must be
        unique and have the form xxxyyyzzz (decimal) where

        xxx = emission type as in id_particles
        yyy = Source type with convention 1=A, 2=B etc so that the
              source type indicates bank names SODy/SOSy/SORy etc.
        zzz = Source version number. Some sources will have multiple
versions
              right from the start that have different functions,
              eg gas sources and laserballs. Other sources will have
              later modified versions with different responses etc.

        eg.   N16 source (1st version of gas source)  = 002007001 (SODG
1)
              Li8 source (2nd version of gas source)  = 020007002 (SODG
2)
              Laserball (1st version)                 = 001012001 (SODL
1)
              directed laserball (2nd version)        = 001012002 (SODL
2)
              Hot 252Cf (1st version of neutron)      = 081014001 (SODN
1)
              241Am-Be (3rd version of neutron)       = 081014003 (SODN
3)

 
     2) Enabled bank mask.  If bit i set, bank enabled:-
                          Bit  Bank
                            0  SODy
                            1  SORy
                            2  SOSy

 
     3) Date of source manufacture ddmmyyyy
        eg. 27th Aug 97  =  27081997
