Note 1 The string has the form yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss
ISO 8601 Date/Time Strings The T between the date and the time is ugly, but part of the standard.
The seconds field provides millisecond precision.
Smoothed UTC is always used. Z is not appended to the string.
Note 2 The string has the form prdctn_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_AA_12, where
Sxi Product File Names prdctn is the 3-6 character product name: SXI, MCPSI, UVBI, or XPDIAG
The yyyymmdd_hhmmss field is derived from the DATE_OBS value.
The two letters of the AA field are codes for the processing level and software version.
Note 3 Value undefined if there was no Tsync packet.
