note: empty cells or cells marked 'reserved' will contain zeros
BOR = beginning of record, "111"
HP = Horizontal Parity bit
PM = Pass-and-Mark, not supported, "00"
SCL = L1accept control bit (forces the FPTT to transmit a L3 record)
SCL = SCLinit control bit
FX = First Crossing control bit marks bunch crossing number 7
E/W = Identifies the East or West side of an end cap
N/S = Identifies the North or South end cap
Data Type = L1FPS, "00010"
Rec Type = L1 record, "111"
U SH 1: cluster counts identified by:
Vertical Parity = Vertical Parity bit calculated over frames 1-5
2 November 2005: created JTO
4 January 2005: added parity links
