Description
-----------
Bank Number: Bank Version Number : 2
If the calibrated charge value (from NES bank: KNES_CALCHARGE) is
given, the energy value (in MeV) is equal to:
KNCLE_OFFSET + KNCLE_1ST*C + KNCLE_2ND*C**2 + KNCLE_3RD*C**3 + KNCLE_4TH*C**4
where C is corresponding to the calibrated charge.
In the current calibration, KNCLE_1ST and KNCLE_ERR_1ST only are different from zero.

Word Type Mnemonic Description
1 I KNCLE_VERSION Bank version number
2..6 I KNCLE_SPARE_GLOBAL Five global spare words
For i = 7 + KNCLE_NPAR*K (KNCLE_NPAR = 10 and K = 0...39) PAR = KNCLE_XXX+K*KNCLE_NPAR
i F KNCLE_OFFSET Offset for conversion
i+1 F KNCLE_1ST 1st order factor for conversion
i+2 F KNCLE_2ND 2nd order factor for conversion
i+3 F KNCLE_3RD 3rd order factor for conversion
i+4 F KNCLE_4TH 4th order factor for conversion
i+5 F KNCLE_ERR_OFF Error on the offset
i+6 F KNCLE_ERR_1ST Error on the 1st order factor
i+7 F KNCLE_ERR_2ND Error on the 2nd order factor
i+8 F KNCLE_ERR_3RD Error on the 3rd order factor
i+9 F KNCLE_ERR_4TH Error on the 4th order factor
i+10..i+14 F KNCLE_SPARE_LOCAL Five spare words per string
