HXRBS was designed to examine the role of energetic electrons in
solar flares by measuring the variations in intensity and energy
of the hard X-ray fluxes. Scintillation events in its actively
collimated CsI(Na) detector were read out every 128 ms in
fifteen energy channels between ~25 to ~500 keV. A circulating
memory was able to accumulate relatively brief periods of data
during the more intense flares with time resolution down to 1
ms. The full width at half maximum of the field of view was
approximately 40 degrees. The Complete Hard X-Ray Burst
