This will occur on DOY 319 (11/15) over DSS-65. Telemetry will be turned off between 1700 and 1730 SCET. The SOE is not out yet. Will we be using the same configurations that we used last time, i.e., RS predicts only, 8-bits on one RSR, 16-bits on the other, both with 1, 2, 4, and 8 kHz bandwidths? The other rack (2 RSRs) is available so we can do as many as 8 additional combinations if you'd like.

Telemetry was off at 319/17:39:45, but I used the first couple of minutes to change attenuation values on both the RSR and DSP. The last attenuation change on the RSR was at 17:41:05, and the last one on the DSP was at 17:42:11. I assume you'd want me to start the RSR query after the last change, so I'll start it at 17:41:10, OK with you? The DSP data is on the CDR and ready to be queried. Telemetry was back on at 18:09:45, but I recorded until 18:11:00.

I apologize I was planning on sending a complete report about the test, but I got busy trying to test the RSR data query for MGS. Yes, it's DSS-65. SOE is mm155a.05.tsoe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From aseel@godzilla.jpl.nasa.gov Thu Nov 15 18:19 PST 2001 Received: from godzilla.jpl.nasa.gov (godzilla.jpl.nasa.gov [137.78.177.120]) by magellan.stanford.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA24306 for ; Thu, 15 Nov 2001 18:19:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by godzilla.jpl.nasa.gov (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id SAA22009; Thu, 15 Nov 2001 18:21:17 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <200111160221.SAA22009@godzilla.jpl.nasa.gov> Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 18:21:17 -0800 (PST) From: Aseel Anabtawi Reply-To: Aseel Anabtawi Subject: MGS RS RSR/DSP Test To: len@nova.stanford.edu, hinson@nimbus.stanford.edu, rsimpson@magellan.stanford.edu, joe@nova.stanford.edu, thomas.e.thorpe@jpl.nasa.gov, ebrower@mail1.jpl.nasa.gov, walter.j.glance@jpl.nasa.gov, Pauline.P.Hwang@jpl.nasa.gov, reid.c.thomas@jpl.nasa.gov, william.r.adams@lmco.com, stephen.c.odiorne@lmco.com, Peter.T.Poon@jpl.nasa.gov, esax@jftl.jpl.nasa.gov Cc: Sami.W.Asmar@jpl.nasa.gov MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-MD5: maupcwV2VwXGBvBKTJE9KQ== X-Mailer: dtmail 1.2.1 CDE Version 1.2.1 SunOS 5.6 sun4u sparc Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Length: 809 Status: RO Hello, Our RSR/DSP test with telemetry off this morning went well. The purpose of this test was to compare the performance and data quality of the RSR and DSP under the normal MGS spacecraft occultation configuration. The test occurred over DSS-65 and lasted for 30 minutes. Telemetry was turned off between 319/17:39:45 and 319/18:09:45 ERT-UTC. Both RSR and DSP data were collected without any problems, and all data files were transferred to Stanford. This was also an opportunity to test MGS RSR data playback and query. Currently, playing back RSR data blocks that are 8 Kbytes and larger break the CDR (Central Data Record), so 2 Kb and 4 Kb data blocks were played back today. Both the data playback and query worked OK. Thanks to all who helped make this test possible. Regards, Aseel
