MIL-PRF-89020B3.10.5 Data record sequence. Within a data file, the data records arearranged by ascending (west to east) longitude.3.10.6 Data Block Checksum. The last four bytes of each data recordcontains a 32-bit checksum value. The checksum is computed algebraicallyusing integer arithmetic by summing all header and elevation bytes containedin the record as 8-bit values. Each byte is considered an unsigned, 8-bitvalue for checksum calculation.3.10.7 DTED on Compact Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM).3.10.7.1 CD-ROM content. The content of the DTED CD-ROM productincludes, in addition to the DTED files, a Digital Mean Elevation Data (DMED)file, and zero or more Gazetteer files. The DMED file provides statisticsabout the elevations in each 15' x 15' area of each DTED cell. The Gazetteersprovide the geographic coordinates for places, cities and other importantlandmark features. In addition, there are four text files that providehelpful information pertaining to the data on the DTED CD-ROM. Additionalinformation concerning CD-ROMs can be found in the DoD Military Handbooktitled, MIL-HDBK-9660 DoD-Produced CD-ROM Products.3.10.7.2 Directories. Each DTED CD-ROM contains several hundred DTEDcells, a gazetteer, a DMED file, a text file describing the disc contentsincluding a user’s guide, and a text file describing an Operational NavigationChart (ONC) directory to access the DTED (see Table IV). A series ofdirectories point to the above listed files resident on the CD-ROM. At thehighest level, there are three directories (DTED, GAZETTE, and TEXT) and onefile (DMED). Only the DTED directory contains sub-directories. Within theDTED directory, there is a sub-directory for each longitude containing cells.The sub-directory name format is: DDD, where DDD is degrees. Forexample, the sub-directory name for DTED files contained between the meridians127E and 128E would be : E127. The DTED cell file-name format is:DD.dtX, where DD is degrees and X is the DTED data level. For example,the file-name format for a DTED Level 1 cell whose southwest corner is 38N and127E would be: N38.dt1, or starting from the root directory,\DTED\E127\N38.dt1.
