Trigger 28 Description

Sequence: C21
Trigger 28 (Interplanetary Cruise with Direction-Finding)

This mode is designed to provide a low bit-rate Survey with low temporal and spectral resolution for periods during cruise. No Wideband or Waveform measurements are made. The entire RPWS frequency range (1 Hz - 16 MHz) is covered.


Receiver  Frequency Range       Sensor          Cycle Time     Snapshot Size
--------  ---------------  ----------------  ----------------  -------------
LFR       1Hz-25Hz         EX,BX               32.000 Seconds
MFR       25Hz-12KHz       EX,BZ               32.000 Seconds

The HFR is in direction-finding mode for the frequency range from 3.6 KHz to 2 MHz. Thus, measurements are made on all three monopoles EU, EV and EW for Bands ABC and Band H1, but for Band H2, only on the dipole EX.

This mode is defined by:

          Correlations Channels    Integ.           Size Frequency

Bands ABC require 6.340 sec to complete, H1 requires 6.071 sec, and
H2 requires 4.686 sec for a total of 17.097 sec per sweep.  The hfr
cycle time is 64.000 seconds.
