October 1996============================================================================= OCTOBER 1, 1996 -- DOY 275 INSTRUMENT STATUS: SEU detected at 8007ab3, which is the watchdog module. CDS was rebooted and is now nominal. GROUND SYSTEM STATUS: nominal ===== OCTOBER 2, 1996 -- DOY 276 INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal GROUND SYSTEM STATUS: imported the following studies: gisat_s_1, eject_v3_13, sertscal_4, sertscal_5, and ffcal_2_1. ===== OCTOBER 3, 1996 -- DOY 277 INSTRUMENT STATUS: Watchdog error recorded sometime during non-DSN contact time (between 1500 and 1630 UT). The instrument will be rebooted and the plan reloaded. GROUND SYSTEM STATUS: nominal ===== OCTOBER 4, 1996 -- DOY 278 INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal GROUND SYSTEM STATUS: nominal ===== OCTOBER 5, 1996 -- DOY 279 INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal, SEU recorded on the secondary. Secondary rebooted nominally and plan restarted. GROUND SYSTEM STATUS: nominal ===== OCTOBER 6, 1996 -- DOY 280 INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal GROUND SYSTEM STATUS: nominal ============================================================================== DATE: 7-Oct-1996 17:16:26 DOY: 281 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: D. Zarro CDS INSTRUMENT: Slit motor went into high temperature alarm at 1930 UT. The cause is being investigated. The temperature climbed to 43 degrees from 28 degrees, and then decresed back down to 30 degrees within a matter of 10 minutes. Plots of BTM18 were printed out. The rise in temperature was seen in conjunction with a ICAL 1 study ending and FULLCCD beginning. The slit moved from 2 to 4 during this transition. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal. ============================================================================== DATE: 8-Oct-1996 13:21:35 DOY: 282 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST:D. Zarro CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, ran the lube study. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 9-Oct-1996 18:53:53 DOY: 283 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: D. Zarro CDS INSTRUMENT: BTM18 (slit motor temperature) went into high alarm again at 1113 UT. This was a transition between POBS1_1 and POBS2_1. The cause is again being investigated. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Problems with the backup system led to the operators to shutdown CDS8. When CDS8 was brought back, the licensing manager for IDL did not execute. It was finally found that the licensing manager had to be manually executed. Once that was done, everything was fine. Also, imported the following studies to EOF: fillfacn_14, ffarr10_8, tranreg_12, and nfctr_9. DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: What a morning!! :( ============================================================================== DATE: 10-Oct-1996 18:59:27 DOY: 283 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC staff, SCIENTIST:D. Zarro CDS INSTRUMENT: Rebooted the instrument to perform some engineering work. The engineering work was performed to help determine the cause of the slit motor high temperature. Slight problem with rebooting. The sequence counter was accidentally placed at 26570. The counter will be returned to normal tomorrow. The SYNOP study ran improperly today. The legs appeared to have went to the wrong position after the first raster had completed. The cause will be investigated. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== ============================================================================== DATE: 11-Oct-1996 15:38:03 DOY: 285 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: D. Zarro CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal, Study Counter returned to 5199 by first incrementing to zero, and then incrementing to 5199. The SYNOP did not run properly again. Data shows the same occurence as the 10th. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 12-Oct-1996 DOY: 286 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal, SYNOP did not run properly again. See the 10th for details. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 13-Oct-1996 17:26:38 DOY: 287 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal, SYNOP ran okay this time. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 14-Oct-1996 17:04:16 DOY: 288 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: D. Zarro CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, GIS detector 1 tripped during GWEST study. It was nominal after reset. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 15-Oct-1996 20:03:09 DOY: 288 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, investigated why two SYNOP studies did not run properly last Thurs. and Fri. Plots showed that the legs did not move to the proper positions throughout the study. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 16-Oct-1996 18:13:40 DOY: 290 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, still investigating the SYNOP occurence. The resolution on the detector 1 trip has been sent by E. Breeveld. Essentially, the Fe IX/X line is very bright and the GIS study was using slit 6. This caused the count rate for detector 1 to exceed the limit of 25,000, and therefore tripped. The SYNOP occurence is also being investigated. There have been a couple of data files missing on the CDs. The EOF has been notified. Also, we had a problem with CPT giving a duplicate CDHS ID to two seperate studies. The problem was noticed while trying to run fitsgen on the data. Bill has corrected the problem by editing the database.

Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, continued investigating the SYNOP mishap last week. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 19-Oct-1996 14:41:18 DOY: 295 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): C. Haskell -- SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, continued SYNOP investigation. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 20-Oct-1996 14:45:12 DOY: 295 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): C. Haskell , -- SCIENTIST: J. Klimchuk CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 21-Oct-1996 14:46:08 DOY: 295 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: J. Klimchuk CDS INSTRUMENT: Performed engineering work to help determine the cause of the high slit motor temperature. The plan was to nudge the ops over the home position in an attempt to smooth any debris that may have accumulated around the slit's home position. Current theory is that the slit's home position may have some debris around the home position therefore inhibiting the encoder from detecting the home position. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Imported the following studies to the EOF: loops_1_1, loops_2_4, and loops_3_1. DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 22-Oct-1996 14:39:40 DOY: 296 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): GSFC Staff(CH,RY,GD), -- SCIENTIST: J. Klimchuk CDS INSTRUMENT: nominal, may have uncovered the reason for the SYNOP problem. A recovery of the series table files from the 10, 11, and 12th of October showed that the ops commands included in the file moved the ops from (0,880) to (0,1760) and then left them there. So, the instrument did what it was supposed to do, but it appears a CPT problem. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, /cdsfits5 is 90% full, so CDROM processing will be temporarily postponed until the disk is changed to /cdsfits6 DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 23-Oct-1996 19:24:54 DOY: 297 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow , -- SCIENTIST: J. Klimchuk CDS INSTRUMENT: The CDS Instrument encountered an SEU on the secondary processor at ~17:30 UT. At about 17:54 UT the entire CDS crashed during a command upload. The first indication of the anomaly was the failure of the instrument to acknowlege bit on the OBDH bus in response to commands. Latter investigation showed that the instrument was refuseing to send telemetry or respond to commands. The CDS was brought back to SNOOZE mode by sending the commands cccrsetn and czcprpu1. Latter the instrument was brought up READY_BOTH and the secondary processor was reenabled. The instrument remains in READY_BOTH with all subsystems powered but no high voltages enabled in the GIS. The CDS will be recovered to a nominal state tommorow. No science is currently being run. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: While bringing the instrument up to READY_BOTH, the study counter was accidently set to 26592. It will be reset tommorow. ============================================================================== DATE: 24-Oct-1996 17:05:39 DOY: 298 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow SCIENTIST: V. Hansteen CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal. The CDS Instrument was returned to normal science operations today at ~21:00 UT after a successful reboot. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: Instrument status is currently being closely monitored. ============================================================================== DATE: 25-Oct-1996 17:05:39 DOY: 299 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): G. Dimitoglou , R. Yurow SCIENTIST: V. Hansteen CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 26-Oct-1996 21:46:30 DOY: 300 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow , -- SCIENTIST: V. Hansteen CDS INSTRUMENT: The slit motor temperature (BTM18) went into red alarm twice today. The first occurence of the anomaly happened at 17:44 UT. This corresponds to the start of the GIS Spectral Atlas, SPECT_V1. The second time it occured was at 20:59 UT, probably during the transition from slit 1 to slit 6, which was used by the next study -- NFFAST1. In addition, the telemetry point BIEG+5V was at 382.10 mA today. Although still within its limits, this is ~50 mA higher then where it usually sits. This could be due to tho fact that the GIS was loading a lookup table when this was observered. Latter it dropped down to its usual value. Otherwise the instrument was nominal. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 27-Oct-1996 20:02:00 DOY: 301 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow SCIENTIST: V. Hansteen CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 28-Oct-1996 22:55:00 DOY: 302 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow SCIENTIST: V. Hansteen CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal DAY PLAN: COMMENTS: The slit motor temperature anomalies on DOY 300 were resolved. Each one was due to the operator misunderstanding what the red and yellow limits were for telemetry point BTM18. J. PAYNE confirms that the increase in BIEG+5V was due to the heavy processing needed for the GIS to load look up tables. No fits files were generated on DOY 301 due to S/C attitude data being unavailable. All fits files for that day have now been processed. ============================================================================== DATE: 29-Oct-1996 DOY: 303 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R.
