Page about the RPW low rate configurations.
Description
The low-rate configurations are designed to perform optimal science data acquisition with a very degraded telemetry rate allocation.
Assumption
The current rate constraint is fixed to 2.4 kbps (i.e., 40% of RPW EIDA rate) of data over a day, which corresponds to the to period in the Feb. 2020 launch scenario.
Possible instrument states
Set of "low-rate" configurations available (in progress):
Associated scenarios
Two scenarios of "low rate" configurations are envisaged currently.
Config low rate scenario 1 | Bit rate (uncompressed) Kbits/s | Bit rate (compressed) Kbits/s | |
|---|---|---|---|
Duration of burst Mode (min per day) | 8 | 3,26 | 2,40 |
Time between 2 snapshots LFR&TDS (s) | no snapshot | ||
Measurement time LFR Basic Parameter (s) | 120 | ||
Compression rate | 2 |
Config low rate scenario 2 | Bit rate (uncompressed) Kbits/s | Bit rate (compressed) Kbits/s | |
|---|---|---|---|
Duration of burst Mode (min per day) | 0 | 3,30 | 2,40 |
Time between 2 snapshots LFR&TDS (s) | 3600 | ||
