Abstract
A magnetic field experiment was designed to be placed in orbit around the planet Venus by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter spacecraft. The experiment system employs three fluxgate magnetometer circuits and a novel digital data processing section that extracts useful magnetic field data for both high and low data transmission rates.
