Description:
Overlay of SXT and GOES fluxes for the period 4-Jan-92 through 14-AUG-95.

The SXT fluxes are full disk DN/sec using the SXG data base.  The values
are derived from the SXT SFD (SXT de-saturated composite Full Disk images).
The GOES flux in this plot is from the low energy channel of GOES7.

This plot was made via the IDL commands:
-------------------------------------------
IDL> rd_sxg,'1-jan-92','15-aug-95',sxg		; read data 
IDL> plot_sxg,sxg				; make plot
-------------------------------------------
(need fair amount of memory to handle this large time span in one gulp)

Current SXG data structure is: 
   ...............................................................
   TIME            LONG          44819347	From SXL data base
   DAY             INT           4752           
   PERIPH          BYTE       217		SXL/SFD image params

   DELTAT          INT            121		SXL/GOES Delta-T (secs)

   SPARE           BYTE      Array(6)		Future use (suggestions?)
