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)

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)

  • after execution: PACS is in SAFE mode

2.2. General Setup for Spectrometer Operation

  • starting out of SAFE mode

  • mode SPEC_setup_OBS calling the block SPEC_setup, calling the following CUS procedures:

    • 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)

    • AF5 enabled

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

  • default SPU mode: slope fitting for 64 readouts per ramp, no sub-ramps, default compression mode
  • filter is in position "A",
  • chopper enabled and at position "0"
  • grating is homed (with 1deg/sec, neg. direction) and enabled for nominal operations with a speed of 4deg/sec and positioned at 500000
  • calibration sources are set to default values (takes about 40-50 min stabilisation time)
  • blue detector heater is switched on and a current of 1.5 mA is applied (takes about 20 min stablisation time)
  • Autonomy function 5 "COUNTER_SPEC" is enabled

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_GRAT_ABS

    • or command Pacs_DMC_MOVE_GRAT_REL

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

    • procedure SPEC_spu_setup

  • CUS scripts (to be finalised):BR

2.4. Reset after spectrometer operation

  • PACS is in SPECTROSCOPY

  • execute mode SAFE mode

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
