The anticipated data specification of the geophysical parameters measured by the AIP is shown in the following table:
| Parameters | Range | Sensitivity | Accuracy |
| Ci | 3% to 10% | 1% | 10% |
| Ni (or Ne) | 103 to 106 cm-3 | 1% | 10% |
| Vi | ±2.5 km s-1 (cross-track) 7.5±1 km s-1 (ram) |
±10 m s-1 ±100 m s-1 |
±50 m s-1 ±200 m s-1 |
| Ti | 500 to 5,000 K | ±50 K | ±200 K |
| Te | 500 to 5,000 K | ±50 K | ±200 K |
