Table Czar(s):

Erik Beall

Description:

contains the bfld_*.dat text files in mysql tables. Unused by BField as yet.

Usage in the offline software:

Code for accessing these tables exists in BField package, but the code for using these within BField (rather than text files) has not been committed, and may never be. The need is not great.

Validation for entering new data:

A python script reads in the text file and makes mysql insert statements to put an exact copy of the bfld_*.dat file into the database. Currently on the obsolete 120 fardet and the likewise obsolete 142 neardet maps are in the database.

Process for automated filling:

Table not updated automatically or info not available.

Additional information:

POSITION_HASH is a hash of x and y positions, see GetGenerator in BField package. bfield is given here in kilogauss, unlike in the text file maps.
