The header in SOAPdenovo output ??

Question

[Picasa]

Hi,

My output from the assembler SOAPdenovo2 is formatted like this

> scaffold148     17.4
> scaffold149     37.1

What is that second number ? Is it the coverage ? If yes I don't understand what it means in an assembly.

I mean the coverage is normally the number of time that a base is represented/sequenced. What does it mean in that case ??
