EIR-OPS-021: GMOD Experiment Set Up


Objective

To facilitate the Operator in setting up the GMOD experiment and streaming science data to the OBC.


Introduction

This procedure will guide the Operator through steps to set up GMOD to run an experiment, generate data and pass it to the OBC. It also contains optional procedures to enable GRB triggering.


Procedure

This procedure contains a number of sub-procedures. Section A details some pre-pass preparations. Sections B to D provide steps to set up GMOD to run the experiment and stream data to the OBC. Section E is optional and depends on the aim of the experiment being set up.

Note

A communication window is required for sub-procedure B to E.


A. Pre-Pass Preparations

A.1.

  • Establish from previous pass notes what version of the GMOD firmware is currently programmed onto the MSP.


A.2.

  • Establish from previous pass notes what values are expected to be returned for the payload.GMOD.ResetCounter and payload.GMOD.LastResetType parameters in Section B.

  • Discuss what actions should be taken during the pass if either parameter differs from what is expected.


A.3.

  • Prepare a file with the expected payload.GMOD.InitASICRegBuffer parameter value (or get this file from a member of the GMOD team).

  • On the Operation Station (or wherever MCS is running), calculate an MD5 checksum for this file using:

    • certutil -hashfile <file> MD5 in a terminal on a windows computer, or

    • md5 <file> on a Mac.

    This checksum will be needed for comparison in Section C.

  • Ensure the terminal used to calculate this checksum is still available for the Operator to use during the communication passes.


A.4.

  • If Sections D or E are to be followed, establish if any of the light curve generation, spectrum generation or triggering parameters need to be changed from their default values prior to proceeding (see Steps D.1. and E.1. for more details if needed).


A.5.

  • If GMOD is being left on and generating data for a long period of time, the GMOD team should be consulted about configuring the OBC to stop GMOD generating data while passing through the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a region with high levels of radiation.

  • If the GMOD team decide some TimeAction functionality is required for this purpose, the relevant procedures should be prepared and understood by the Operator prior to the passes (see Step C.27 for more details if needed).



B. Power On and Initial Checks

Important

You are about to send the first TC of this procedure - Have you completed the EIR-OPS-003: Start a Communication Pass procedure? A Communication Pass must be started prior to carrying out the operations planned for the pass. Don’t forget to set up the parameters/actions that will be used during the pass in MCS before the pass begins!

Warning

If GMOD is being left on and generating data for a long period of time, the GMOD team should be consulted about configuring the OBC to stop GMOD generating data while passing through the SAA, a region with high levels of radiation. A TimeAction component can be used to invoke an action/set a parameter based on time. The EIR-OPS-037: Set-Up a TimeAction procedure can be followed to set up two TimeActions, one to set the payload.GMOD.GMODMode to Idle (0x01) prior to SAA entry and one to set the payload.GMOD.GMODMode to Experiment (0x02) at SAA exit so GMOD starts generating data again.

D. Set Up Streaming Data to the OBC

D.1.

Note

As the OBC receives data from GMOD, it will automatically prepare light curves and spectra, which will be logged to storage channels 21 (dec) and 22 (dec), respectively.

  • Prior to enabling streaming in the next steps, the Operator should now review Section G of the EIR-OPS-020: GMOD Configuration procedure to ensure the desired e.g. light curve bin widths, ADC event limits, etc. are set-up.
