AMPTE/IRM MAGNETOMETER
type: Concept
in scheme: instruments
definition: The 3-axis fluxgate magnetometer onboard the AMPTE/IRM Satellite had a wide dynamic range (0.1-60000 nT), a high resolution (16-bit analog to digital conversion) and the capability to operate automatically or via telecommand in two gain states. The sampling rate was 32 samples per second. Reference: Luehr, H., N. Kloecker, W. Oelschlaegel, B. Haeusler, and M. Acuna, 'The IRM fluxgate magnetometer', IEEE Trans., GE-23, 259, 1985.
