Dataset of article "Performance Study of the Vibrating Wire Technique to Determine Longitudinal Magnetic Field Profile Using Scans to High Wire Harmonic"

Raw data used in the article, "Performance Study of the Vibrating Wire Technique to Determine Longitudinal Magnetic Field Profile Using Scans to High Wire Harmonic." The included data are raw scan files from test magnetic measurements of a spare quadrupole used for beam transport in an electron particle accelerator. Most of the files are from frequency sweeps through the harmonic of a vibrating wire measurement system. Some Hall probe scans are also included. 

--------------------
Arrangement of related files:
- RawScans: raw scan files, with data in unconverted voltages, generated by our magnet mapping laboratory software; contains vibrating wire and Hall probe scan files
- ProcessedData: exported tables of data processed in Igor, necessary (together with shared code) to reproduce the results/figures in this article
- Code: data analysis macros to process vibrating wire scans written for Igor Pro v6.37; plain text Mathematica notebook to convert the B field of a Hall probe scan into DST Sine series coefficients; auxiliary settings file for vibrating wire macros. Note, the associated code is not here but rather on the Canadian Light Source GitHub: https://github.com/Canadian-Light-Source/magmapdata

Vibrating wire scans, additional notes:
- Igor code is written to automatically detect the wire drive current if it is listed in the file name
- We varied the wire drive current and did not fit it into the file name
- The wire drive current must be set manually in the Igor wave "vwScanCurrents" after import of scan files; one can refer to "vwScanCurrents" in the ProcessedData to see the appropriate wire currents (in Amps) for each scan 

--------------------
File format of Hall probe scans:
- Comma separated variables in raw text file
- ".hp" file extension: hall probe; a text editor should be able to view the file
- ".hpd" file extension: hall probe data; a text editor should be able to view the file
- Two files included, one .hp (raw scan voltage) and one .hpd (converted to magnetic units)
- Five header rows preceded with # character
- Data columns listed below for hp scan file:
- (1) X Position: Position of horizontal (X) motorized stage relative to HP origin
- (2) Y Position: Position of vertical (Y) motorized stage relative to HP origin
- (3) Z Position: Position of longitudinal (Z) motorized stage relative to HP origin
- (4) X Data: Voltage output of horizontal (X) Hall sensor
- (5) Y Data: Voltage output of vertical (Y) Hall sensor
- (6) Z Data: Voltage output of longitudinal (Z) Hall sensor
- (7) TM box: Temperature output of Hall probe electronics box
- (8) TM box: Temperature output of Hall probe
- (9) Time: RELATIVE time (seconds) counting from start of scan
- HPD processed scan file contains X/Y/Z position and BX/BY/BZ field data

Vibrating wire processed data notes:
- Exported table includes: scan name; wire drive current; wire harmonic; raw max amplitude (normalized to drive current); sensitivity to harmonic at sensor position; calculated fundamental frequency of wire; a/b/c/d fitting coefficients to Fw curve; Bn* Sine series coefficients
- Field Reconstruction: One table exported each for BX (horizontal) field and BY (vertical) field
- Precision Study: Tables exported each for BX and BY; tables exported each for inclusion/omission of F(w) fitting masks (noM: no mask); tables exported each for pt1/pt2 of the precision study, where pt2 (part 2) is a distinct measurement day at a different vibration sensor position.
- Note, the initial fitting guess for the amplitude (a) coefficient was halved (from 0.0001) when analyzing data for the BX (channel 2) field in the Precision Study of this work. (Not the field reconstruction study.) Some checking and hand-tuning of fitting guesses is unfortunately necessary for now. With clever coding, one might tune the starting guess to the peak measured wire amplitude.
