You are in HIFI Level 2 content
Here you will find more detailed and more technical HIFI documentation that will give you deeper insight into the instrument, its data and data products and its operation. If you are looking for even more detailed, technical or historical documentation on a specific topic and do not find it here, you should look in HIFI Level 3.
