On Board Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) power spectra of Electric (EFI) and Magnetic (SCM) field measurements for particle and wave burst survey modes. Spectra are produced only in Particle Burst and Wave Burst modes; only a preselected four of the signals listed in Table 1 are input at any time. Data fed through the FFT while not in Particle or Wave Burst modes is automatically disgarded. The FFTs (Cooley-Tukey algorithm) are conducted as an integral part of the power spectrum calculation by the Field Programable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). A CORDIC algorithm is used for sine/cosine calculations. The data has raw resolution of 1024 pts for 8,192 sample/sec signals and 2048 pts for 16,384 sample/sec signals (EAC measurements only). Signals at 8,192 samples/sec are handled by 1024-point FFTs, while those at 16,384 samples/sec go through 2048-point FFTs. Past and current signal configurations for specific spacecraft are listed bellow in Table 2. The spectra are arranged into log spaced frequency bins in steps of 16, 32, or 64. Cadence is adjusted to keep packet size constant (i.e. increasing the fequency resolution by a factor of 2 decreases the sampling rate by 1/2). The frequency bins cover a range of 0 Hz to 4 kHz.

Signal Description SCMX, SCMY, SCMZ: Three axis magnetic fiend from SCM V1 through V6: Probe-spacecraft voltage for all six EFI sensors E12DC, E34DC, E56DC: DC-coupled electric field measured from opposing EFI sensors E12AC, E34AV, E56AC: AC-coupled electric field measured from opposing EFI sensors E12HF: High frequency electric field from EFI Table 2: Spacecraft specific configurations. All probes were initially set to use EDC34, EDC56, SCM2, and SCM3 signals for both particle and wave burst modes. Output was set to 16 frequency bins at 4 Hz. Configuration Changes: 9 June 2008: Particle burst spectra resolution increased from 16 to 64 bins and cadence slowed from 4 Hz to 1 Hz for closer analysis of spectral features. N/A: Particle burst spectra on all probes reconfigured to 64 bins at 1 Hz. 15 Aug 2008: E34DC and E56DC inputs switched to E34AC and E56AC to reduce impact of wake fields on FFT spectral measurements. 15 Oct 2008: Particle burst spectra resolution reduced from 64 to 32 bins and the rate increased from 1 Hz to 2 Hz; a response to noise from plasma wake fields in the 64 bin spectra.
