HETE WXM Thermal Vacuum procedures
We would like to outline some things we think the overall approach for
TV (Thermal Vacuum) testing should include, and then give details on
how to run the tests for the WXM instrument.
Since the 6-week-to-delivery schedule does not allow for any
integrated tests, and since none have really been properly done so
far, the tests should turn on all instruments, high voltage, and
realistic telemetry. In the 6-week scenario, these tests will be the
first and last time we will turn all things on together.
Now for the WXM commands. Most of these are from the WXM flight
manual.
First of all, the ground processes should be started: (you can cut and
paste):
cd archive_dir
$HETEDIR/bin/sparcbin/archiver &
$HETEDIR/bin/sparcbin/putsd > jjj &
Once basic system processes are started, the WXM software should be
booted according to the script below:
bootproc $HETEDIR/source/xray/transputer/transputer-2.5/btl/XG.btl xg 4
sleep 30
bootproc $HETEDIR/source/xray/xdsp/xdsp-2.5/xdsp.hld xgdsp0 4
Then the WXM can be turned on via the following line:
tickle 2064 8300 # turns on power (low V) to the WXM
----------
Then the sequence to step up the HV or turn on noise counts. This
should be provided by Nobu and Atsumasa. Noise counts and calibration
source counts should probably be collected at various times
throughout, as should be raw data packets.
