    • PSP FIELDS Fluxgate Magnetometer (MAG) Magnetic Field Vectors, Radial-Tangential-Normal, RTN, Coordinates, 4 samples/cycle, Level 2 (L2), 3.413 ms Data

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

    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.References: 1. Fox, N.J., Velli, M.C., Bale, S.D. et al.
