END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 48 Description Sequence: C34, C35 Trigger 48 ( 80 KHz WBR cyclic turn-on, without compression) This trigger is designed to overlay 80-KHz Wideband Receiver data on top of a standard background trigger, such as 8A (Survey), 8E (night-time survey), or A0 (SEDDF). Data acquisition continues for all receivers, with the exception of the dust detector and the sounder, which are disabled during this trigger's operation. In addition, the MFR is switched to the EZ antenna to avoid interfering with the WBR, which is assumed to be connected to the EX antenna. It is assumed that the WBR is pre-configured before this trigger is executed, except that the 80-KHz band selection is done by the trigger. In addition to selecting the 80-KHz band, this trigger turns off compression of the WBR data, and forces the snapshot length to 2048 samples. These things are necessary to prevent the low-frequency WFR and the LFDR data acquisition from blocking WBR data acquisition. Receiver Frequency Range Sensor Time between Snapshots Samples per Snapshot -------- --------------- ------ ---------------------- -------------------- WBR 0 - 80 KHz EX 0.125 second 2048 MFR 25 - 12 KHz EZ, BZ 32 seconds Other notes: This trigger produces a maximum data rate of about 131 kbps. If the Telemetry Mode is S&ER-3, the data is limited to 60,928 bps. There is a 60-second delay following the execution of this trigger, and preceding the start of the WBR data acquisition. This allows time for the MFR to switch antennas and the sounder to finish any pending operation. This trigger will work with most non-direction-finding triggers, such as Trigger 28 (Interplanetary Cruise).
