======================================================== Tohban report: 20070717--20070720 ======================================================== Tue, July 17, 2007/198 *Checked ESA 2007/07/15-2007/07/16 for data gaps and spurious signals. See data gaps near perigee on TH-A 2007/07/16: 1200-1430 UT TH-B 2007/07/16: 1100-1300 UT. Known memory saturation problem. *EFI DBraid Test on THEMIS C; Usher/Guard=0 on THEMIS D The configuration was setup on THEMIS C at 07-198-18:55:07 UTC The configuration was setup on THEMIS D at 07-198-20:42:56 UTC Wed, July 18, 2007/199 *ESA MCP Toggle Test (ICCR_MML07) was run all all five probes. Thu, July 19, 2007/200 *DBraid test (ICCR_HER017) to change Themis D usher Guard DAC levels to +1V implemented 07-200-22:51:29 UTC *THEMIS C, D and E FFT and FBK configuration changes: Change EFI inputs to FBK and FFT from EDC to higher-gain EAC channels This will become the default, if all is good. *Verified FS duration increase on THM C: - FS 5 hr durations at inbound and outbound MP and 1 hr each at RBT. THM A, B, D and E schedule two 3-hour TBC intervals, and one 1-hour fast survey at radbelt ingress. PB still 2 at each MP at equal intervals on all 5 SC. -See no signs of Data gaps or spurious signals in ESA. -Note: Planned changes THM A,B, D, E and also to PB and WB durations and samples to be implemented at a later time. Fri, July 20, 2007/201 *Checked ESA for data gaps and spurious signals: -found unexpected data gap from 0303:30-0311:20 UT, 0413:45-0418:36 UT, and 0902:10-0907:10 UT *Checked FGL 4S/s sampling over full orbit: FGL on THM C, D, & E, has not yet been implemented on THM A & B. *EFI requests implemented: -change DBRAID biasing on THM D and THM E: Change setting to THM C configuration--DBRAID set to DRIVEN, referenced to V1. -increase sensor bias currents to -175 nA/sensor. THEMIS C: 07-201-17:42:25 UTC THEMIS D: 07-201-18:24:46 UTC THEMIS E: 07-201-20:26:08 UTC Action items--- *FGL sampling on THM A and B. *FS on THM A, B, D and E *PB & WB duration + cadance changes to all 5 SC. *Update on-board moment tables *New on-board Triggers *Improve capture of targeted regions MP, BS and RBT. ========================================================
