We present an experimental study devoted to determine the magnetoresistive signals as imposed by the system magnetic anisotropy and applied current direction in a model ferromagnetic system. By having direct experimental access to the magnetization vector during the reversal (measured through angular- and field-dependent vectorial-resolved magnetization loops), we can predict both longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistive signals, i.e., anisotropic magnetoresistance and planar Hall effect. This has been done by experimentally disclosing the resistance changes occurring during (and simultaneously to) the magnetization reversal processes.

The advantage of this graphic representation is that we immediately recover the angular evolution for a given value of the external magnetic field by cutting the map along the horizontal axis, and the hysteresis loop at given αH if the cut is along the vertical axis.
