RO-E-RPCMAG-2-EAR3-RAW

Data Set Overview The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Fluxgate Magnetometer(MAG)was submitted by Ingo Richter (TM) for the RPCMAG team. The PI of the team is KarlHeinz Glassmeier. The data have been measured during The THIRD EARTH SWINGBY (EAR3) in the time period November 9, 2009 November 16, 2009 The Payload Checkout PC10 at Slot1 : September 20, 2009 October 2, 2009 Details of the Swingby can be found in ROIGEPTR0029: Report of the third Earth Swing by Slot2 : November 16, 2099 November 17, 2009 This slot was used for the LAP MAG interference test. Details of the test can be found in ROIGEPTR0030: Report of the PC10 LAPMAG Interference Test All magnetic field data are edited raw data. That means the data represent the 3 components of the magnetic field measured in counts of the used 20 bit ADC. Data are given in instrument coordinates. Neither any filtering nor any calibration has been applied to the data. Any s/c generated noise and s/c caused residual magnetic fields are not eliminated. The data are sorted by the sensor (OB: outboard sensor, IB: inboard sensor)and the measurement mode (M1..M6). They can uniquely be identified by their file names. Normally the OB is the Primary (Pri) and the IB is the Secondary (Sec) sensor. However, this order can be toggled by TCs. This feature has been tested especially during the commissioning phases. In cases where the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sensor were toggled the individual data files (OB/IB) will contain data measured with different sampling rates according to the actual sampling rates of the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sensors. Refer to the MODE DESCRIPTION table below. The actual sampling rate is the only indicator showing which sensor is the primary and which is the secondary one. REMARK: Due to strong magnetic disturbance by the ORBITER, the magnetic field data are influenced by s/c generated magnetic fields.
