    • getFieldVector

      public Vector3D getFieldVector()
      Returns the magnetic field vector in Tesla.
      Returns:
      the magnetic field vector in Tesla

    • getInclination

      public double getInclination()
      Returns the inclination of the magnetic field in radians.
      Returns:
      the inclination (dip) in radians

    • getDeclination

      public double getDeclination()
      Returns the declination of the magnetic field in radians.
      Returns:
