I. Intro

This web page will help you track ECS measurement performance with regard to
total time on each of the three SI modes as well as the amount of the total time that
was cold (i.e. temperatures <= -119.2 degress C).


The present targets for the Total and Cold times are:

    Total time per SI Mode per measurement: 7600.0 seconds
    Fraction of total time the measurement should be cold: 60.0%

Important Notes:

The Rules:

The rules to be followed are:

Rule #1: The key time period for balancing SI mode statistics is the 6 month Epoch
         By the end of the epoch, the SI mode statistics should match the rules stated below.

Rule #2: Each of the three, default, 6 chip, SI modes (or their 5 chip equivalents) must be used
         at least once in each load week.

           - If two SI modes are lagging in either cold time or total time, apportion the week's ECS
             measurements between the two of them roughly commensurate with the amount they are lagging.

           - The 6 month Epoch allows "even" correction of two lagging SI modes. No
             need to pile a weeks worth of ECS measurements on one SI mode if two are lagging.

Rule #3: Make certain to spread the amount of COLD ECS time as evenly as possible across all three SI modes
         Balance Cold measurement data between the three default 6-chip modes within 10%
         of each other on an Epoch basis

Rule #4: Spread the amount of *Total* ECS time as evenly as possible across all three SI modes.
- Balance Total measurement data between the three default 6-chip modes within 10% of each other on an Epoch basis.

Rule #3 takes precedence over Rule #4.

Rule #5:At least 60% of scheduled ECS measurement time must be -119.2 deg. C

Rule #6: Any ECS measurements during a Perigee Passage that are cold MUST be assigned to the nominal ECS run SI modes. i.e. Any requested Rawmode runs can be done with a warm focal plane.

A word about the Total Time stats:

    - The Total Expected Time values for each SI mode in the table is calculated by:

        # of ECS runs executed in this epoch so far * 10,000.0 * 0.76 / 3.0

    Where:

         10,000.0 seconds is the maximum possible time for ECS runs

         We exepct only 7600.0 seconds on average - hence multiply by 0.76

         We divide by three because we want the time evenly distributed across all three aggregate SI modes

A word about the COLD Time stats:

    Cold Time is defiined by focal plane temperatures <= -119.2 degrees C:

     The Total Expected Cold Time value is 60.0% of the Total Expected Time (see above).

SI Mode Mapping between 6,5 and 4 chip modes:

    The 6 chip SI Modes consist of three distinct modes. But there are only 2, 5 chip SI Modes and only one 4 chip SI mode. To make tracking feasible, the 4 and 5 chip modes were mapped into the 6 chip modes in the following manner:

       6 chip               5 chip         4 chip

    TE_007AC -> TE_00C60 TE_00C62

    TE_00B26 -> TE_00C60 TE_00C62

    TE_007AE -> TE_00CA8

All of the TE_00CA8s get counted as TE_007AE

Half of the TE_00C60s get counted towards TE_007AC and the other half get counted with the TE_00B26s

Half of the TE_00C62s get counted towards TE_007AC and the other half get counted with the TE_00B26s.

So watchout for TE_00B26 over-representation.

SI Mode to Chip Mappings:

    TE_007AC -> I0 - I3, S2, S3

    TE_007AE -> S0 - S5

    TE_00B26 -> I0 - I3, S1, S3

    TE_00C60 -> I0 - I3, S3

    TE_00C62 -> I1 - I3, S3

    TE_00CA8 -> S1 - S5
