Information related to the RPW routine operations.

RPW routine operation week calendar

The table below gives the typical operations to be performed every week for RPW. The times are given in UTC and the approx. operation durations are indicated in brackets.

THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT OF CALENDAR TO BE REFINED!

MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday

02:00 - BIAS cal. (10 min.)

03:00 - BIAS sweeping (40 min.)

04:00 - BIAS current setting (< 1 min.)

18:00 - Starting burst mode (10 min.)

02:00 - THR internal cal. (10 min.)

18:00 - Starting burst mode (10 min.)

02:00 - SCM TDS - LFR internal cal. (10 min.)

18:00 - Starting burst mode (10 min.)

  • In the nominal case, the RPW operating configuration should be one of the "science default" config. (i.e., NORMAL-DEFAULT, BURST-DEFAULT or DETECTION-DEFAULT) , or a variation around it.
  • Bias Sweeping must be performed twice: one with Bias relay on the resistor and the other on the antenna
  • This calendar does not include the TC to dump the triggered TDS snapshot waveforms (64 events x4 per day)

Other routine operations

  • TC_TDS_PERFORM_DIAGNOSIS every month
  • LFR k-coefficients settings : once every week or month (TBD)
  • Dump TDS TS every day : 64 events to be retrieved 4 times a day

  • TC_DPU_CLEAR_HK (to reset the packet counters) shall be run every TBD?

     

Weekly calendar for ROC activities related to the routine operations

The table below gives the expected weekly calendar relative to the routine operations activity at the ROC (TBC). The times are given in local time (Paris, France).

MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday

??:?? - Deliver RPW STP IOR to SOC for the next STP week in 10 days (see note below)
??:?? - SBM event selection telecon (related to the STP week in 15 days)??:?? - Bias current setting submission (related to the STP week in 14 days)

Notes:

  • STP IORs are delivered in a batch to cover a time-range of 1 week.

  • This time-range of execution begins on a Saturday

  • The STP IOR files must be delivered to SOC on the Tuesday 10 days prior to this Saturday
