The Level 2 science data summarized graphically on this page are available as binary extended FITS files. Missing scan columns are reflected in these images as vertical bars. Routines to download and read and these into SolarSoft compatible "index,data" arrays are distributed within the SOT branch of SSW, examples of which may be found in the SOT Data Analysis Guide.
