Abstract
The instruments of the HELIOS plasma experiment investigate the characteristics of the interplanetary plasma. In this follow-up report of the technical description given in report BMFT-FB-W81-015 we describe the data evaluation procedure in some detail. We start from the raw data tapes, explain most of the intermediate steps and finally show the resulting data plots in their various forms. The most important computer programs are enclosed, together with some basic explanations.
