Fields#

timestamp#

  • Type: number
  • Units: seconds or simulation steps
  • Description: Monotonically increasing time index for each measurement.

rotation_rate#

  • Type: number
  • Units: radians/second (or simulation‑defined units)
  • Description: Angular velocity of the rotating magnetic field source.

induced_signal#

  • Type: number
  • Units: volts (physical) or arbitrary substrate units (simulation)
  • Description: Measured EMF or substrate‑analog response at the given timestamp.

field_alignment#

  • Type: number
  • Units: dimensionless (0–1 recommended)
  • Description: Optional metric representing spin‑field or resonance alignment.

notes#

  • Type: string
  • Description: Optional annotations for anomalies, calibration steps, or operator comments.

Notes#

  • All fields are raw and unprocessed.
  • Derived metrics (e.g., smoothed signals, envelope activation) belong in processed datasets, not here.
