These pages track the movement of Chandra's Science Instrument Module (SIM). Motion between detectors and focus positions is plotted. Data is processed using full-frame raw telemetry, so the temporal resolution is about 32s. Moves between ACIS-I and ACIS-S are usually shorter than 32s, so times shown below for these moves are understated. Processing parameters/assumptions include a maximum move time of 500s and minimum time "settled"at a particular detector of 1500s.
