Description

Parker Solar Probe FIELDS Instrument Suite Fluxgate Magnetometer, MAG, Data: The time resolution of the MAG time series data varies with instrument mode ranging from 2.289 samples/s to 292.9 samples/s. These two data sampling rates corresponding to 2 samples or 256 samples per 0.874 s where 0.874 s is equal to 2^25 divided 38.4 MHz. See reference [2] for a complete explanation of the MAG instrument sampling methodology. The Magnetometer has four ranges: ±1024 nT, ±4096 nT, ±16,384 nT, and ±65,536 nT. The Magnetometer Range is selected by an algorithm based on the strength of the ambient magnetic field. The magnetic field measurement precision is ±15 bits, based on the 16-bit Analog to Digital Converter, ADC.

Caveats: The Magnetometer Mode indicates which sensor is the source of the data: 0=Outboard Sensor, 1=Inboard Sensor. Each Magnetometer sensor has a corresponding electronics board in the FIELDS Main Electronics Package, MEP. For enhanced reliability, the outboard sensor is controlled by the Data Control Board, DCB, and the inboard sensor is controlled by the by the Time Domain Sampler instrument, TDS.

Parameter #9

Name: FIELDS Instrument Suite, Data Quality Flags

Set: Time Series defined by using: EPOCH_QUALITY_FLAGS

ParameterKey: psp_fld_l2_quality_flags

Description

FIELDS Instrument Suite, Data Quality Flags

Caveats: FIELDS Data Quality Flags: The flags are bitwise variables. This means that multiple flags can be set for a single time by adding the separate flag bit values. Current flagged values are: 1=FIELDS Antenna Bias Sweep, 2=PSP Thruster Firing, 4=PSP Rotations for MAG Calibration (MAG Rolls), 8=FIELDS MAG Calibration Sequence, 16=SWEAP SPC in Electron Mode, 32=PSP Solar Limb Sensor,(SLS, Test. 64=PSP Spacecraft is Off Umbra Pointing. A value of zero corresponds to no set flags. Not all flags are relevant to all FIELDS data products, refer to notes in the CDF metadata and on the FIELDS Satellite Operations Center, SOC, website for information on how the various flags impact FIELDS data. Additional flagged items may be added in the future.
