CHANSCAN= 'LLSS ' / Channel and mirror transport mechanism scan
COMMENT / mode identifier. The first two characters
COMMENT / indicate the channel, the first being the
COMMENT / instrument side: right (R) or left (L); and
COMMENT / the second being the frequency: high (H) or
COMMENT / low (L). The third and fourth characters
COMMENT / indicate the scan mode, the third being the
COMMENT / scan length: short (S) or long (L); and the
COMMENT / fourth being the scan speed: slow (S) or
COMMENT / fast (F). In addition, the scan mode may
COMMENT / take the following values for low frequency
COMMENT / data only (channel = RL or LL):
COMMENT / FS: decimated SF data;
COMMENT / FL: truncated LF data.
COMMENT / The scan mode value FA indicates: for high
COMMENT / frequency data (channel = RH or LH), a

COMMENT / frequency data (channel = RL or LL), a
COMMENT / combination of FS and FL data.
