After unzipping the archive: r1.zip You should have directories full of *.fld files. These are the raw data, so ignore the other files in the directory (or delete them). Each .fld contains a single angular scan at a specific r and z. The .fld files are numbered in order from 001. Each .fld file starts something like: I,z,r = 1.000000, 3.500000, 3.000000 0 -442.5 5.625 -432.6 11.25 -406.1 16.875 -364.7 22.5 -309.5 28.125 -243.1 33.75 -167.1 ....... The first line specifies the lens current in Amps (I), the axial coordinate in mm (z), and the radial coordinate in mm (r) at which the scan was taken. The rest of the file is full of \theta, B_r data pairs. That is, the first column is the theta coordinate for the measurement in degrees. The second column is the measured radial component of the magnetic field in gauss. The Hall Probe sampling area is ~1mm^2, if that is of interest. There are usually, 64, 128 or 256 points in each file. There are usually between 5 and 12 angular scan performed at each value of z, with r values going from 0 to ~6 mm. It's as simple as that. Let me know if there is a problem, or if what I have said doesn't fit the data you have.
