PACS spectrometer operation from the commanding point of view


T. Mueller, D. Cesarsky; 10-Nov-2006

Index TableOfContents(2)


1. Short Functional Tests (Ge:Ga-detector related)

  • PACS_Spec_OBS

  • PACS_Spec_OBS


2. Nominal Operations


2.1. Instrument switch-on and connection of the warm electronic boxes

  • currently done with tcl-script PACS_Switch_On.tcl (maintained by FGB)

2.2. General Setup for Spectrometer Operation

  • starting out of SAFE mode

    • procedure SPEC_dpu_dmc_setup (hk-list, rec_opt, fpga)
    • procedure SPEC_init_det_setup (initial detector setup, including switch-on of the SPECs and the correct selection of the CREs)
    • procedure SPEC_gega_setup (to be imported to sftcode)
    • procedure SPEC_blue_heater_setup (to be created)
    • procedure SPEC_dmc_setup (to be checked)

  • ending up in Spectroscopy mode, but SPU processing has not yet started

  • filter is in position "A",
  • chopper enabled and at position "0"
  • grating is homed (with 1deg/sec) and enabled for nominal operations with a speed of 4deg/sec
  • calibration sources are set to default values, but need 40-50 min stabilisation time!!!

2.3. Operation of the spectrometers (starting out of '''Spectroscopy mode''')

2.3.1. start/stop of bolometer data flow

    • or command Pacs_DMC_MOVE_CHOP_ABS

    • or command Pacs_DMC_MOVE_CHOP_REL

    • or command Pacs_DMC_MOVE_GRAT_ABS

    • or command Pacs_DMC_MOVE_GRAT_REL

  • mode SPEC_spu_reset_OBS calling procedure SPEC_spu_reset ---> spectrometer data flow stopped

Note: PACS_fltw_move_OBS can be called via a specific tcl-script where the filter has to be specified.

2.3.3. Take data with pre-defined OBCPs

  • mode OBCP_chop_scan_spec_OBS calling blocks/procedures:

    • procedure SPEC_spu_setup

    • block OBCP_grat_line_scan_chop_2

    • procedure SPEC_spu_reset

  • mode OBCP_gra_scan_chop2_fast_OBS calling blocks/procedures:

2.3.4. Execute AOT observations

  • CUS scripts (to be finalised):BR

2.4. Reset after spectrometer operation

  • PACS is in SPECTROSCOPY

  • execute mode SAFE mode

2.5. Instrument switch-off

  • currently done with the tcl-script PACS_Switch_Off.tcl (maintained by FGB)

  • after execution: PACS is switched off

  • ending up in SAFE mode

3.2. SPU Modes & Detector Selection Tests

3.3. Other Tests


4. NOTES


  • the SFT tests are described in PACS-ME-TP-007
  • some specific spectrometer tests, like the thermal behaviour measurement, start directly out of SAFE mode, while most of the tests will be executed after the SPEC_setup_OBS when the instrument is in Spectroscoy mode

  • the above mentioned CUS scripts (with a few exceptions) have been tested and are available in the CUS database and from the CVS library
  • the AOT related CUS-scripts are still under testing
