| This collection contains snapshots of MAG vector samples, or burst sampling, over a time span of 8 minutes, at a rate of 20 samples per second for a total of 9600 vector samples. The burst data give information about waves and turbulent phenomena expected to occur at the magnetospheric boundaries and elsewhere in association with pickup processes of volatile species as they are photo-ionized. Typically one burst period will be recorded every day of orbit operations. | ||||||||||||||

| This collection contains tables of instrument state as reported by the MAG Low-Rate Housekeeping (LRHK) packet. It includes the 3-axis field values (received from the filter and subsampling logic) and the corresponding AC values. | ||||||||||||||

| MAG instrument state (health and mode) as reported by the LRHK packet. This changes only on packet boundaries so it is kept in a separate EDR, minimizing repetition of information. Each row in the LHRK Header EDR corresponds to information extracted from one LHRK packet. | ||||||||||||||

| Contains alternating current (AC) level values at the commanded sample rate. To conserve telemetry the vector sampling will usually be less than the maximum rate, 20 sample/s. To provide a record of the amplitude of fluctuations for frequencies higher than 1 Hz, an AC amplitude is calculated from the internally sampled 20/s data for the sensor axis commanded as the AC_AXIS. Thus, in addition to the vector samples data, a 1 Hz to 10 Hz bandpass average amplitude is evaluated for the commanded sensor axis, selected by command, and recorded as a log AC value with a 4-bit mantissa of the four most significant non-zero bits and a 4-bit power of two exponent of the 4th (least significant) bit of the mantissa. This is called the logAC value. It is created once per second and saved for telemetry at that rate or at the commanded science rate, whichever is less frequent. | ||||||||||||||
