The magnetometer consists of two sensors, the OB and the IB sensor, mounted on a spacecraft boom. The instrument provides 3 component magnetic field vector data measured by both sensors. In this data calibrated data nanotesla can be found. Additionally to the magnetic field data, HK data like sensor temperatures, voltages, and filter stages are supplied in calibrated data format. CVP RPC-MAG Data Archive ========================= a) S/C DATA =========== CODMAC Level/Type Data Type Data Content 3 / CALIBRATED Data table Calibrated TS of OB,IB & HK data The data can be found in the DATA\CALIBRATED\2004\MAR DATA\CALIBRATED\2004\MAY DATA\CALIBRATED\2004\SEP DATA\CALIBRATED\2004\OCT directories. These directories have three subdirectories: LEVEL_A LEVEL_B LEVEL_C The LEVEL_A data (HK,IB,OB) are calibrated data in Instrument coordinates. The LEVEL_B data (IB,OB) are calibrated data in S/C coordinates. The LEVEL_C data (IB,OB) are calibrated data in ECLIPJ2000 coordinates. b) Supporting files =================== Supporting files for the Archive user include PDS descriptions, documents, and searchable indices. These have been organized into four directories one level below the root: CATALOG, DOCUMENT,CALIB, INDEX Structure of the volume AAREADME.TXT (PDS required introduction to the data set) VOLDESC.CAT (PDS required volume description of the data only) ../CATALOG/CATINFO.TXT (list of catalog files) *.CAT (Mission, spacecraft, instrument, data, references) ../CALIB/CALINFO.TXT (list of calib files) *.LBL (PDS Label for *.TXT files RPCMAG_002_CALIB_FSDPU_FMIB.TXT Calibration Parameter File for Flight SPARE DPU with FM Inboard sensor RPCMAG_002_CALIB_FSDPU_FMOB.TXT Calibration Parameter File for Flight SPARE DPU with FM Outboard sensor RPCMAG_SC_ALIGN.TXT Matrices for stowed and deployed MAG boom in relation to s/c coordinates ../DOCUMENT/DOCINFO.TXT (list of documents) *.DOC (WORD documents) *.TXT (ASCII documents) *.PDF (PDF documents) *.TEX (LaTeX documents) ../INDEX/INDXINFO.TXT (Description of the contents of the index directory) INDEX.LBL (PDS LABEL file for INDEX.TAB) INDEX.TAB (Index of the data set in tabular format) ../DATA/CALIBRATED/*.TAB (MAG data, 3 components presented as ASCII tables) *.LBL (PDS LABLES of the MAG data files) The ROSETTA project decided that the data would be archived in the PDS format. Consequently, the layout of this volume and the labels for each file conform the PDS/PSA guidelines.
