Version 1.1
-----------
This version 1.1 data set replaces the version 1.0 data set
(DATA_SET_ID = VG1-J-MAG-4-9.60SEC) previously archived with PDS.
Changes to this version include the addition of data columns not
included in version 1.0, the modification of time format and flag
values, and upgrade of associated labels and catalog templates to
PDS version 3.2.
Data Set Overview
=================
This data set includes calibrated magnetic field data acquired by
the Voyager 1 Low Field Magnetometer (LFM) during the Jupiter
encounter. Coverage begins in the solar wind inbound to Jupiter and
continues past the last outbound bowshock crossing. The data are in
System III (1965) (SYS3) coordinates and have been averaged from the
1.92 second summary data to a 9.6 second sample rate. All magnetic
field measurements are given in nanoTesla (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 1 sample per 0.06 seconds.
Full telemetry resolution 'detail' data must be obtained from the
instrument team. For this data set, the data have been resampled to
9.6 seconds from 1.92 second summary data. The 1.92 second data were
in turn resampled from the detail data.
The LFM has eight dynamic ranges. The instrument is designed switch
between dynamic ranges automatically depending upon the observed
magnetic field magnitude and fluctuations. Instrument digitization
uncertainty depends upon dynamic range as indicated in the following
table (from [BEHANNONETAL1977]).
-----------------------------------------------
LFM Dynamic ranges and quantization uncertainty
-----------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------
1. +/- 8.8 +/- .0022
2. +/- 26 +/- .0063
3. +/- 79 +/- .019
4. +/- 240 +/- .059
5. +/- 710 +/- .173
6. +/- 2100 +/- .513
7. +/- 6400 +/- 1.56
8. +/- 50,000 +/- 12.2
Processing
==========
Voyager EDR's undergo the following processing in order to produce
these 9.6 second averaged summary data:
* Read EDR
* Unpack header block (rec. id, s/c id, tel. mode, FDS counts,
data flags)
* Convert selected time tags to integer time (yy/ddd/hh:mm:ss.fff)
* Unpack sub-header block (MAG status words, plasma data)
* Unpack science block (MAG counts)
* Convert counts to gammas
* Apply sensor and boom alignment matrices
* Rotate (optional) 1.92 second averages while averaging detail
gammas to create 1.92 second averages
* Average 1.92 second data to 9.6 seconds
* Write Summary record
Counts are measured onboard using 12 bit words that may represent
values ranging from 0-4096. Integer counts are converted to magnetic
field units (gammas) by subtracting a zero offset, from the measured
MAG value and multiplying this difference by the sensitivity of the
instrument.

Ancillary Data
==============
An ancillary data file containing the derived spacecraft magnetic
field is provided with this data at a 48 second sample rate. These
data provide zero level offsets used in the data processing.
Spacecraft field data is provided in spacecraft coordinates as

Coordinate Systems
==================
These data are provided in a conventional, right handed, spherical
coordinate system with vectors R, Theta, and Phi. This system is
sometimes referred to as System III (1965) right handed
coordinates. The magnetic field vectors are:
Br - radial B-field component (along the Jupiter to spacecraft
line) positive away from Jupiter
Btheta - North/South (SYS3) B-field component, positive southward
Bphi - azimuthal (SYS3) B-field component, positive eastward
The Jupiter System III coordinate system is described in Appendix B
(p. 498) of [DESSLER1983].

Review
======
These data have been reviewed by the instrument team and are of the
highest quality that can be generated at this time. Science results
based on these data have been published in several journals
(Science, Nature, JGR, etc.). After submission to the PDS, these
data successfully completed the peer review process.
Data Coverage and Quality
=========================
These data originally included an 8-byte flag indicating software or
spacecraft hardware intervention which reduced confidence in the
data. However, these flags were provided only at a 48 second rate
and are not included in this data set. To identify data confidence
concerns in this data set please refer to the data flag provided in
the 48 second data set. Data confidence conditions apply beginning
at the record matching the time tag of the 48 second data and
persist for 48 seconds (or 5 records in the 9.6 second data)."
