The data provided here are raw telemetry packets extracted
from the archive packet server at JPL. There are 3 levels of
packet servers, 'real-time', 'bested', and 'archive'. IPF
data files are created from the archive server but have an
additional header not found in these files. The packet structure
and contents are described by the documents listed below.
These documents can be found on the archive volume in the
directories below DOCUMENT/MAG, one document per directory.
Software provided by the MAG team will read packet files
and extract all MAG and AACS data into IGPP flatfiles (binary).
Selected MAG and AACS parameters may be extracted using the
same software into ASCII files. IGPP flatfiles can be converted
to ASCII using the PDS supplied software FFEXTRACT. Both
pieces of software are contained on the archive volume along
with the packet data files. AACS data are provided as an
ancillary data product necessary for the interpretation and
processing of the raw magnetometer data.
