The data should be read across rows, i.e. within each block they are arranged as: x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 x10 ... etc. Block 1: Phantom core I truth shown in figure 1(a). 205 values at 4mm intervals. Block 2: Phantom core I data shown in figure 1(b). 205 readings at 4mm intervals. Block 3: Phantom core II truth shown in figure 2(a). 205 values at 4mm intervals. Block 4: Phantom core II data shown in figure 2(b). 205 readings at 4mm intervals. Block 5: Guiting Power core 1 data shown in figure 4(a). 291 readings at 1.0363mm intervals. Block 6: Guiting Power core 2 data shown in figure 4(d). 260 readings at 1.0363mm intervals.
