END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 3C Description Sequence: All Trigger 3C mode The instrument is assumed to be operating in trigger 28. Command Byte Count: 6 Valid Command Count: 119 A MEM_TWEAK is included in this trigger to set the WBR/DUST antenna multiplexor to the Lp position following WBR or DUST data acquisitions. Note that the data set acquisition time for this mode is extremely long. This long timing will usually result in an odd HFR record during the transition to another mode in the group (i.e. when not using trigger 10). In particular, it is suggested that any of the HF-WBR modes not follow this trigger directly as the WBR and HFR acquisition timing will be shifted for a period of time as the HFR. This mode was modified for C21. The H1 band now includes all frequencies from 125 KHz through 4025 KHz; the frequency step size was changed from 50 to 25 KHz. To keep the overall timing about the same, the integration constant was changed from 160 to 80 ms.
