UVCS MISSION LOG ---------------- Date: 10 March 2009 ----- Last revision: 11 March 2009 (Wu) -------------- File Name: 2009.03.09.a.log ---------- Compiled by: R. Wu ------------ UVCS Activity: Conduct Multiple Instrument Interleaved Commanding -------------- Using New ECS Software Command Link Load and Start Equatorial Coronal Observation for 09 - 10 March 2009 Load and Start Equatorial Coronal Observation for 10 March 2009 SOHO Activity: -------------- EOF Staff: M. Uzzo: Lead Scientist ---------- R. Wu: Commander M. Uzzo: Planner Command file: 09.03.09.15:26:28.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) ECS Software Command Link Test Sequence: 09.01_StrProfOVI.tcl SCI_SPEC: This is a test of current EOF Core System (ECS) software ported to linux. Test details as follows: - Command test conducted using primary commanding workstation. - NRT Enabled through Newly Ported ECS Software. - Telemetry connection also made through new ECS Software - Day's load was sent into Batch Queue as a test of NRT link robustness in a multiple instrument commanding scenario. - "test" load sent and successfully verified onboard. - Batch Queue flushed. - Day's science load sent into Interactive Queue. - Interactive Queue load sent and successfully verified onboard. - Science observations were not interrupted, and UVCS was not idle during the course of this test (so testing time may overlap with an existing science observation's).
