notes:

- the Si array cannot take 3s DCEs in RAW mode, so I used 4s instead

- the Si stim has only 1 voltage setting which presumably will be optimized
for 10s DCEs, so I use 10s Si stim observations regardless of the length of
the science DCEs


mips_tp_itime10.exp walkthrough:

1) initial stuff (START, VML_EVAL x 3)

2) make transition to TP state (CESCANPOS, CESIADCAL, CESISDSEL, CELDRAMS)
   {this posindex moves the scan mirror to the 24um dark position}

3) limit 160um reset interval to no more than 5s (CEGERSTCON)

4) enable Ge stims and 2-DCE stimcycle (CEGESTIM)

5) configure CSMM for large chop between 24um dark and wide field (CESCANCON)

6) turn on Si stim (CESISTIM)

7) take one 10s DCE (CEMIPSUR)

8) turn off Si stim (CESISTIM)

9) take 10 10s DCEs in RAW mode to get 5 dark/sky pairs (CEMIPSRAW)

10) turn on Si stim (CESISTIM)

11) take one 10s DCE (CEMIPSUR)

12) turn off Si stim (CESISTIM)
{24um total power end}

13) move scan mirror to SED position for 70um dark (CESCANPOS)
{70um total power start}

14) configure the scan mirror for no chops (CESCANCON)

15) turn off Ge stims (CEGESTIM)

16) take one 10s DCE to get a background for the 1st stim (CEMIPSUR)

17) turn on the Ge flood stims and configure a 7-DCE stimcycle (CEGESTIM)

18) take seven 10s DCEs to get a stim flash DCE plus 6 dark DCEs (CEMIPSUR)

19) move scan mirror to wide-field position (CESCANPOS)

20) turn off Ge stims (CEGESTIM)

21) take one 10s DCE to get a sky measurement (CEMIPSUR)

22) move scan mirror to SED position (CESCANPOS)

23) take six 10s DCEs to get 6 darks after sky measurement (CEMIPSUR)

24) repeat steps 17-23 four more times to get 5 dark/sky/stim groups

25) turn on Ge stims (CEGESTIM)

26) take one 10s DCE to get final stimflash (CEMIPSUR)
{70um total power end}

27) move scan mirror to 160um dark position (CESCANPOS)
{160um total power start}

28) turn off Ge stims (CEGSTIM)

29) take one 10s DCE to get a background for the 1st stim (CEMIPSUR)

30) turn on Ge stims and configure a 7-DCE stimcycle (CEGSTIM)

31) take seven 10s DCEs to get a stim flash DCE plus 6 dark DCEs (CEMIPSUR)

32) move scan mirror to wide-field position (CESCANPOS)

33) turn off Ge stims (CEGESTIM)

34) take one 10s DCE to get a sky measurement (CEMIPSUR)

35) move scan mirror to 160um dark position (CESCANPOS)

36) take six 10s DCEs to get 6 darks after sky measurement (CEMIPSUR)

37) repeat steps 30-36 four more times to get 5 dark/sky/stim groups

38) turn on Ge stims (CEGESTIM)

39) take one 10s DCE to get final stimflash (CEMIPSUR)
{160um total power end}

40) make transition back down to observe state (CEGESTIM, CESCANPOS, CESISTIM,
CEGERSTCON, CESISDSEL, CEGTGRDY, CELDRAMS)

41) final stuff (VML_EVAL x 3, END)


Differences in other scripts:

mips_tp_itime3.exp:
   Framecnt -> 2 in the CEMIPSRAW command, which actually makes these DCEs 4s,
   not 3.  Framenum -> 2 in all CEMIPSUR commands except the first two
   (which are measuring the Si stim), which actually does make these DCEs 3s.
mips_tp_itime30.exp:
   Framecnt -> 15 in the CEMIPSRAW command.  All commands to measure 70um
   and 160um total power are deleted.  Ge70rst -> 20 in the CEGERSTCON
   command so that the 70um array is reset every 10s.
