1 run_number 6 zero-padded 6-digit whole number Uploads to pmag_run_num of pmag_run, pmag_run_data, and pmag_section_data.

run_date_time 13 mm/dd/yy hhmi In SQL use to_date format mm/dd/rr hh24mi. rr accomodates appropriate handling of 4-digit years. pmag_calib.pmag_calib_date_time

5 Demag_axis 4 For alternating frequency (AF) demagnetization yields any combination of the characters XYZ. Will be NONE if a non-AF treatment is applied. XYZ when present populates pmag_run.pmag_demag_x|y|z_flag. Presence of XYZ causes pmag_section_data.pmag_demag_type to be set to "AF."

Applied demagnetization level 7.2 milliTesla (mT). When demag axis = NONE this and the following field are omitted. Intervening tabs also omitted. pmag_section_data.pmag_demag_level

Unit
For demag treatments this is always mT (milliTesla). Long Core acquisition doesn't currently define anything else. Mapped to pmag_run.pmag_alternate_treatment when XYZ combination is present.
6 alternate_treatment 40 Comment field pmag_run.pmag_alternate_treatment. Presently not used by Long Core.
7 core_length 5.1 Empty if measurement type = DISCRETE (cm) pmag_run.pmag_core_length

8 tray_corrected 3 YES | NO YES = 1, NO = 0; pmag_run.pmag_tray_corr_flag

tray_date_time 13 empty if tray corrected = NO. Intervening tab is preserved. pmag_run.pmag_tray_date_time

10 section_id 7 0 pmag_section_data.section_id looked up based on L/S/H/C/T/S keys provided in sample data. Upload fails if no match.
11 number of data points 4
Ignored by uploader.
12 START OF DATA
"N" rows of data follow. Used by uploader to flag start of repeated body records.
13 <extra space> 1 SampleID is formatted according to the old ODP standard. These keys are used to look up the database section IDs in the core log.

Leg 3 For continuous runs, L/S/H/C/T/S are the same for each sample record. In discrete runs, these values are different, but each run goes in its own separate file (i.e., only one sample point per discrete run-file vs many points in a single continuous run-file). pmag_run.leg, pmag_section_data.leg, pmag_run_data.leg
