| Title: | Bias Level Commanding | This can probably go away, since it overlaps with bias/sensitivity tests | |||||
| Objective: | To measure detector response to changing bias levels. | ||||||
| Description: | This test should really measure how the detector sensitivity, stability, and noise properties | ||||||
| respond to different bias levels in the presense of cosmic rays. | |||||||
| As such, it will probably end up being done as part of another series of tests | |||||||
| (for sensitivity, for example) that need to be done anyway. | |||||||
| Place in Schedule: | The telescope must be cold enough for the germanium arrays to work, | ||||||
| but it can probably be done at the background level appropriate for initial standard star measurements. | |||||||
| Required Conditions: | |||||||
| Resources: | |||||||
| duration (best estimate) | I'll bookkeep this test with the sensitivity tests, so no time required here. | ||||||
| real time downlink (Y / N) | n | ||||||
| special post event actions (Y / N) | The data must be analyzed. | ||||||
| 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 | Can execute planned AOTs with different bias levels. | ||||||
| Contingency Plan: | |||||||
