Parker Solar Probe FIELDS Instrument Suite Fluxgate Magnetometer, MAG, Data: The time resolution of the MAG time series data varies with instrument mode ranging from 2.289 samples/s to 292.9 samples/s. These two data sampling rates corresponding to 2 samples or 256 samples per 0.874 s where 0.874 s is equal to 2^25 divided 38.4 MHz. See reference [2] for a complete explanation of the MAG instrument sampling methodology. The Magnetometer has four ranges: ±1024 nT, ±4096 nT, ±16,384 nT, and ±65,536 nT. The Magnetometer Range is selected by an algorithm based on the strength of the ambient magnetic field. The magnetic field measurement precision is ±15 bits, based on the 16-bit Analog to Digital Converter, ADC.

PSP/FIELDS data release 5.1, on October 19, 2020, updates the dfb_dbm_scm and dfb_wf_dvdc data types to version 3. The new data versions contain significant corrections to the previously released data.
PSP/FIELDS data release 7, on April 4, 2021, includes data from PSP Encounter 6 (September 2020). All data up to and including December 2020 are now publicly available. For this data release, all DFB cross spectra have been reprocessed (with a new version number), and a subset of MAG data has also been reprocessed (with a new version number).
PSP/FIELDS data release 8, on June 28, 2021, includes survey data from PSP Encounter 7 and Venus Gravity assist 4. Several data sets have been updated in release 8.
PSP/FIELDS Data Release 9, on October 29, 2021, includes select data from Encounter 7 (perihelion January 2021), and survey and select data from Encounter 8 (perihelion April 2021).
PSP/FIELDS Data Release 10, on February 7, 2022, includes survey and select data from Encounter 9 (perihelion August 2021).
PSP/FIELDS Data Release 11, on April 25, 2022, includes survey and select data from Encounter 10 (perihelion November 2021), and survey and select data from Venus Gravity Assist 5 (October 2021).
