Description of the RPW_SCIENCE NORMAL-DEFAULT configuration.
Context and purpose
RPW_SCIENCE NORMAL-DEFAULT is the main operating science configuration for SURVEY_NORMAL mode, to be applied on-board during the Solar Orbiter science operations.
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.
