| FM | Ferromagnetic |
| AF | Antiferromagnetic |
| AF1 | Antiferromagnetic for odd number of magnetic units in the system: more units antiparallel to the magnetic field |
| AF2 | Antiferromagnetic for odd number of magnetic units in the system: more units parallel to the magnetic field |
| revFM | reversed ferromagnetic, antiparallel to the magnetic field |
| ADC | Analogue-to-digital converter |
| ADE | Analogue-to-digital-encoder |
