ResourceID spase://NASA/NumericalData/ParkerSolarProbe/FIELDS/MAG/Level2/VSO/VariableCadence Description PSP FIELDS Fluxgate Magnetometer data. Time resolution varies with instrument mode, ranging from 2.3-292.9 samples/sec, corresponding to 2-256 samples per 0.874 seconds (0.874 = 2^25 / 38.4 MHz, see reference [2]). The Magnetometer has 4 ranges - +/-1024, +/-4096, +/-16,384, +/-65,536 nT, selected by the ranging algorithm, based on the ambient magnetic field. Precision is +/- 15 bits, based on the 16-bit ADC.

This is a bitwise variable, meaning that multiple flags can be set for a single time, by adding flag values. Current flagged values are: 1: FIELDS antenna bias sweep, 2: PSP thruster firing, 4: SCM Calibration, 8: PSP rotations for MAG calibration (MAG rolls), 16: FIELDS MAG calibration sequence, 32: SWEAP SPC in electron mode, 64: PSP Solar limb sensor (SLS) test. 128: PSP spacecraft is off umbra pointing. 256: High frequency noise affecting RFS and TDS receivers. 512: Antennas driven towards the FIELDS power supply rails. 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 SOC website for information on how the various flags impact FIELDS data. For more information on the quality flags describing high frequency noise and antennas driven to the rails, see release notes for PSP/FIELDS releases 8 and 9. Additional flagged items may be added in the future.
