END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 8A Description Sequence: C27, C30, C31, etc. Trigger 8A ( Survey Mode, All Regions ) This mode is designed to provide a survey mode, with standard temporal resolution and spectral resolution. Both low-frequency and high-frequency WFR measurements are made, using a "toggle" mode, although a fixed gain (maximum) rather than an auto gain mode is required until a future software update. Dust detection is included. Langmuir Probe sweeps are performed every 640 seconds. A Sounder measurement replaces the HFR analyses every 640 seconds.

However, the time between analyses is set to 16 seconds to reduce the bit rate, and also to synchronize with the 640-second sounder operations. Every 640 seconds the HFR normal analyses are replaced by a Sounder analysis. The Sounder operation has a duration of approximately 40 seconds. This Sounder analysis is defined by: sounder mode: EZ AAA 1st sounder freq: 0 last sounder freq: 89 T1 delay: 10 msec T2 delay: 25 msec T3 delay: 25 msec passive spectra: 2 active spectra: 2 # of cycles: 1 sounder output A: 3 autos sounder output B: 3 AGCs
