      <Description>The vector helium magnetometer is mounted on the end of a 3 m boom and makes in-situ measurements of 
      the ambient magnetic field vector in the frequency range 0-3 Hz.  The instrument automatically chooses 
      one of eight ranges in which to operate, the four lowest full-scale ranges being +/-4, +/- 14, +/-42, 
      and +/- 146 nT.  The precision of measurement is 1/256 of the full-scale field values (0.016, 0.055nT, etc.).  The absolute accuracy is limited by 
      knowledge of the spacecraft magnetic field, which is presently known to better than 0.1 nT.  The time 
      resolution corresponds to three triaxial samples per second at 1024 bit/s .  The magnetometer contains a three- channel spectrum analyzer which 
      is connected to the search-coil sensor of the plasma- wave investigation.</Description>
