MIPS_125a Transfer Function


IOC-MIPS_125a       10150C        
Title:     MIPS Transfer Function Test          
                 
Objective:     Determination the optimum DC offset to use at the A-to-D Converter          
                 
                 
Description:              
including flow / state diagram     At each of 5 DC offset settings (use same as in thermal-vac test), take these dark data:          
      Put 24um array in dark.          
      Take 30 30-second exposures.          
      Put 70um array in one one of the dark positions.          
      Take 30 10-second exposures.          
      Put 160um array in dark.          
      Take 30 10-second exposures.          
                 
                 
Place in Schedule:   After aperture door is opened.          
(relative to water shed events)                
                 
Required Conditions:   MIPS Scattered light monitor must indicate that MIPS dark levels          
      are low enough ( <10,000 electrons/sec).          
      Assume T=5.5K for now.          
Resources:                
                 
  duration (best estimate)         3 hrs    
  real time downlink (Y / N)         no    
  special post event actions (Y / N)         no    
  Generates 450 DCEs.              
                 
Outcome:                
  description         Optimum DC offset level for each array will be known.    
  can proceed in parallel with other activity       yes so long as high sky background regions are not pointed at.    
  must outcome be confirmed before next event / test /activity         no    
  method of confirmation (sensor TLM, data analysis, etc.)         sensor TLM and data analysis    
  estimate of data turn around if required for confirmation         N/A    
                 
Unique or included in planned AOT?           Unique.    
                 
               
Contingency Plan:                
"What if..."       If test fails to execute it must be repeated. If DC offset cannot be changed, circuit analysis will        
        be needed to understand the fault.
