ITP V1.200  Level 1b Product as part of TanDEM-X CoSSC
------------------------------------------------------

Pre-operational products are distributed for test purposes only. Those products are 
provided "as is". No warranty of any kind given. 

Performance of pre-operational or simulated products may be different from operational 
TanDEM-X products. Content and format may be subject to change prior to the 
ground segments "Operational Readiness Review". 

For TanDEM-X product specifications refer to the relevant documentation distributed 
by the commercial and science service segments at the start of the TanDEM-X operational 
phase. 


General Limitations:
--------------------

- Externally provided processing parameters (e.g. processing bandwidth or Hamming window 
  coefficients in the IOCS Aux Product) may be altered while in the commissioning phase by 
  IOCS. Pre-operational product performance characteristics may thus not represent the 
  final operational products.

- All datatakes are processed with the operational ITP in its nominal 
  configuration using the external auxiliary data provided at time of processing. 
  Calibration data not adjusted to the actual instrument data may lead to 
  e.g. saturated images or other artefacts. 
  
- Product calibration is hence not applicable if the products are not
  explicitly flagged as "CALIBRATED".
