For each pixel in the PHT-SS and PHT-SL array the corresponding central wavelengths and spectral response are listed. The spectral response is given in units of [V/s/Jy] for point sources and in [V/s/(MJy/sr)] for extended sources. These numbers provide a direct conversion from a pixel signal to a point source flux (in [Jy]) or a surface brightness (in [MJy/sr]) on the sky. The conversion assumes (1) a constant responsivity for the PHT-S arrays with time and orbital position and (2) no positional dependence of the source with respect to the centre of the aperture.

For PHT-S chopped observations two correction coefficients $A^0_{pixel}$ and $A^1_{pixel}$ are included for each pixel. These coefficients provide a fist order correction to the average spectral response function for chopped observations.

The records are filled as follows: data of PHT-SS pixels 1-64 are stored in records 1-64, PHT-SL pixels 1-64 are stored in records 65-128.
