Conventions

Resistics adopts a number of conventions which are outlined below:

• Data is assumed to be sampled on the second. Whilst this is generally the case with ATS timeseries data files, SPAM and other formats do not necessarily follow this convention. There is functionality available to interpolate data on to the second built into resistics. Examples of interpolation to the second can be found in the time series formats section.

• Magnetic channels are named H_x, H_y and H_z.

• Electric channels are named E_x, E_y.

• Resistics operates with field units. When timeseries data is read in, it is automatically converted to the following units:

  • Electric channels E_x, E_y are in mV/km

  • Magnetic channels H_x, H_y and H_z are in mV

  • Calibrated magnetic channels are in nT

Note

More specific information about the supported data formats for timeseries and calibration data are provided in the formats section.
