Start at 029:21:00 GMT = 4:00pm 29 Jan 2012 EST End at 029:22:20 GMT = 5:00pm 29 Jan 2012 EST ACIS SOT Shift Report 2012-01-29 H4574 ACIS Personnel: Paul Plucinsky PLAN - -------- We intend to run CAP1224C to execute a long ECS measurement. SUMMARY: - -------- The HRC anti-Co rates and the E1300 rates were low but not as low as we would like. The rates were low enough that we do not risk an unintentional SCS-107 trip, so we decided to proceed with CAP1224C. CAP1224C was executed as expected. The ECS measurement should produce about 12ks of data. TIMELINE (GMT day 311-312) - ---------------------- 029:21:00 AOS on DSS 54 029:21:10 Mike runs the HRC CAP to verify the anti-Co rates are low enough to resume science 029:21:12 FP Temp= -119.7 C 029:21:15 Mike reports the HRC shield rates are at ~140, low enough to resume science 029:21:20 command in load to turn on the transmitters 029:21:21 start CAP 1224C 029:21:22 HRC anti-Co=140, E1300=432 cts/sample or 7.8 cts/s/cm2/sr, this is above our guideline but close enough that Mike says we can go 029:21:22 SCS-107 is enabled 029:21:23 OC/CC set OBSID to 62683 029:21:25 OC/CC uplink 1A_CTI4_24HR_135.CLD 029:21:27 enable and activate SCS 135 029:21:28 command echoes visible, startScience 029:21:29 E1300=415 cts/sample, HRC anti-Co at 141 029:21:51 biases complete 029:21:52 first event data, event rates look nominal, threshold crossing rates look nominal, delta overclocks are negative and between -10 and -20 029:21:53 the ACIS door is still open 029:22:00 event rates after about 162-163 frames Threshold | 11207 | 661 | 11916 | 12071 | 14905 | 21625 | Filtered | 375 | 85 | 389 | 370 | 372 | 791 | Events | 39 | 37 | 29 | 37 | 24 | 40 | Tot Events | 6125 |8047 | 5854 | 6365 | 5723 | 6152 | 029:22:01 tell OC/CC that all data looks nominal from ACIS 029:22:19 this ECS measurement should produce about 14.8 ks of data 029:22:20 LOS
