Trigger A4 Description

Trigger A4 ( HRSED 182 kbps Hirate Mode )                                     
                                                                              
This mode is designed to provide a hirate mode for analyzing fine structure   
of SED's, while also providing a low temporal resolution spectrum at the      
spectral resolution.  This is accomplished by running the WBR in the          
"down-convert" mode, using the 25-KHz wide signal provided by the HFR, which  
is simultaneously running in millisecond at the frequency provided to the     
WBR.  This mode of operation is paused every 64 seconds for 8 seconds, in     
order to perform a normal analysis sweep, nominally in SEDDF mode.  At this   
time, the LFDR is also sampled.  These provide the low temporal resolution    
spectrum.  At each 64-second interval the millisecond mode frequency is       
toggled between each of two selections:  2 MHz and 10 MHz.  These             
frequencies could be tweaked with additional commands.  WFR data acquisition  
and Dust detection are not done.  Langmuir Probe sweeps are performed every   
640 seconds.  A Sounder measurement is scheduled every 10 minutes.            
It is assumed that prior to this trigger, either trigger A0 (SEDDF) or        
trigger 8E (Night-Time Survey) was in effect.

The HFR is in a modified "Composite Survey" mode, which now includes both     
auto- and cross-correlations for H1, and differs from standard Survey mode    
in that its integration constants for H1 and H2 are shorter.  This mode is    
defined by:
