RPW Science Default Configuration (DefCon) description
_SCIENCE NORMAL-DEFAULT configuration.
...
Context and purpose
RPW_SCIENCE NORMAL-DEFAULT The RPW Science Default Configuration (DefCon) is the main operating science configuration for SURVEY_NORMAL mode, to be applied on-board during the Solar Orbiter science operations.
The DefCon corresponds to the "default state" as requested by the MOC.
The requirements relative to this state are:
- The DefConf must be invariant over the RPW Software SCIENCE modes (i.e., SURVEY_NORMAL, SURVEY_BURST, SBM_DETECTION)

Description
The instrument is in the SCIENCE SURVEY_NORMAL submode and in the "DEFAULT-SCIENCE" configuration.
The "Mode" section gives the software mode of the sub-system. The "configuration" section gives the detailed configuration of the sub-system. The "Associated sequences" section gives the list of TC sequences to apply to set the instrument in this configuration. The "Attributes" section lists the TC and/or formal parameters values, which can change the resource allocation related to this configuration.
