| Title: | Engineering and Array Data Acquisition | ||||||||
| Objective: | To confirm that arrays and data acquisition procedures are functional. | ||||||||
| Description: | This test should be done early in IOC, soon after the CE has been checked out. | ||||||||
| Once MIPS is powered up and has made the transition to "observe" mode, a short photometry observation should be made in RAW mode. | |||||||||
| Place in Schedule: | After CE has been checked out. The telescope does not have to be cold. | ||||||||
| Required Conditions: | No constraints on PCS accuracy or stability | ||||||||
| Resources: | |||||||||
| duration (best estimate) | 5 minutes | ||||||||
| real time downlink (Y / N) | n | ||||||||
| special post event actions (Y / N) | data headers should be checked to see that they make sense | ||||||||
| Outcome: | |||||||||
| description | produces RAW mode photometry observation | ||||||||
| can proceed in parallel with other activity | y | ||||||||
| must outcome be confirmed before next event / test /activity | we must show this works before taking other data | ||||||||
| method of confirmation (sensor TLM, data analysis, etc.) | examine telemetry - data themselves should be saturated, but might make a good stress-test of the pipeline | ||||||||
| estimate of data turn around if required for confirmation | |||||||||
| number of DCEs | 36 | ||||||||
| Unique or included in planned uplink or downlink/analysis tool | can use planned AOT | ||||||||
| Contingency Plan: | |||||||||
