Gardner: Lead Scientist ---------- M. Uzzo: Commander, Planner R. Wu Command file: 08.10.17.14:52:42.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) OVI Detector HV Intensity Characterization Sequence: 08.10_GratScanOVI.tcl SCI_SPEC: Determine Intensity rate versus High Voltage Setting for the OVI detector using the OVI doublet at 3 grating positions. Instrument rolled to coronal hole, 1.7 Ro with standard 1.5 mm overocculting. High Voltage set manually prior to observation.
