Description
* Data Set Overview * ================= This Data Set includes calibrated Magnetic Field Data acquired by the Voyager 1 Low Field Magnetometer (LFM) during the Saturn Encounter. Coverage begins in the Solar Wind inbound to Saturn and continues past the last outbound Bowshock Crossing. The Data are in Kronographic (L1) Coordinates and have been averaged from the 1.92 s Summary Rate to a 9.6 s Sample Rate. All Magnetic Field Measurements are given in nT. The Magnetic Field Data are calibrated (see the Calibration Description included in the Voyager 1 Magnetometer Instrument Catalog File for Details). * Parameters * ========== The full LFM Instrument Sample Rate is one Sample per 0.06 s. Full Telemetry Resolution "Detail" Data must be obtained from the Instrument Team. For this Data Set, the Data have been resampled to 9.6 s from 1.92 s Summary Data. The 1.92 s Data were in turn resampled from the Detail Data. +--------------------------------------------------------+ | Parameter Characteristics | Value | ---------------------------------------------------------- | Sampling Parameter Name | TIME | | Data Set Parameter Name | MAGNETIC FIELD VECTOR | | Sampling Parameter Resolution | 9.600000 | | Minimum Sampling Parameter | 19770820120000.000000 | | Maximum Sampling Parameter | UNK | | Sampling Parameter Interval | 9.600000 | | Minimum Available Sampling Int | 0.060000 | | Data Set Parameter Unit | NANOTESLA | | Noise Level | 0.006000 | | Sampling Parameter Unit | SECOND | +--------------------------------------------------------+ The LFM has eight Dynamic Ranges.

Integer Counts are converted to Magnetic Field Units (nT) by subtracting a Zero Offset from the measured MAG Value and multiplying this Difference by the Sensitivity of the Instrument. +-----------------------------------------+ | Processing Characteristics | Value | ------------------------------------------- | Processing Level ID | 4 | | Software Flag | Y | | Processing Start Time | 1988-09-21 | +-----------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------+ | Processing Characteristics | Value | ---------------------------------------------------- | Source Data Set ID | N/A | | Software | UNK | | Product Data Set ID | VG1-S-MAG-4-9.60SEC | +--------------------------------------------------+ * Data * ====
