MIPS_020a Command Paths

IOC-MIPS_020a       10130C        
Title:     Command and Data Paths          
                 
Objective:     To confirm that instrument input/output are functional.          
                 
Description:     This test should confirm that the instrument can receive commands and that it emits          
      telemetry and science data as expected.          
      This is a MIPS-specific electronics test that will do things like confirming telemetry          
      output, instrument configuration commands, state changes, etc.          
      We'll need further input from Ball on what goes on here.          
                 
Place in Schedule:     The telescope does not have to be cold, so this can be done during initial instrument check-out.          
                 
Required Conditions:     no PCS capabilities are required - the initial CE checkout must be done          
                 
Resources:                
  duration (best estimate)         1 hour?    
  real time downlink (Y / N)              
  special post event actions (Y / N)              
                 
Outcome:                
  description              
  can proceed in parallel with other activity              
  must outcome be confirmed before next event / test /activity              
  method of confirmation (sensor TLM, data analysis, etc.)              
  estimate of data turn around if required for confirmation              
                 
Unique or included in planned uplink or downlink/analysis tool           unique
