Energy look-up tables

The PEACE energy range is split into 88 bins, characterised by the central energy of a bin, together with its width $\Delta E$. The exact energy levels of the $i$th level $(E_i \pm \Delta E_i/2)$ to be used are specific to both LEEA and HEEA and to each spacecraft. Further more, the instrument can operate in any one of three modes (LAR, MAR & HAR - Low, Medium and High Angular Resolutions), which also determine the exact energy to use (see Figure 5.1). To account for this we read in the telemetry value (from 0 to 89, `89' designating `off') and look-up (in hard-coded tables in ./src/truncated_moment_corrector.c) the correct lower or upper edge energy of the bin to apply in the calculation.
