      Instrument Overview
      ===================

      (excerpted from: [BALOGHETAL1992A])

      Abstract. -- A fundamental feature of the heliosphere is the
      three dimensional structure of the interplanetary magnetic
      field. The magnetic field investigation on Ulysses, the first
      space probe to explore the out-of-ecliptic and polar
      heliosphere, aims at determining the large scale features and
      gradients of the field, as well as the heliolatitude
      dependence of interplanetary phenomena so far only observed
      near the ecliptic plane. The Ulysses magnetometer uses two
      sensors, one a Vector Helium Magnetometer, the other a
      Fluxgate Magnetometer. Onboard data processing yields
      measurements of the magnetic field vector with a time
      resolution up to 2 vectors/second and a sensitivity of about
      10 pT. Since the switch-on of the instrument in flight on 25
      October 1990, a steady stream of observations have been made,
      indicating that at this phase of the solar cycle the field is
      generally disturbed: several shock waves and a large number
      of discontinuities have been observed, as well as several
      periods with apparently intense wave activity. The paper
      gives a brief summary of the scientific objectives of the
      investigation, followed by a detailed description of the
      instrument and its characteristics. Examples of wave bursts,
      interplanetary shocks and crossings of the heliospheric
      current sheet are given to illustrate the observations made
      with the instrument."
