END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 28 Description Sequence: C26, C27 Trigger 28 (Interplanetary Cruise with Direction-Finding & Dust & LP Sweeps) 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 Sensors Time between Snapshots -------- ---------------- ------- ---------------------- LFR 1 - 25 Hz EX, BX 32 seconds MFR 25 - 12 KHz EX, BZ 32 seconds HFR 3.6 KHz - 16 MHz E 64 seconds LP N/A LP 8128 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 higher frequencies only EX and EW are used. This mode is defined by: Correlations Channels Integ. Size Frequency Band Ant.

However, to keep the bit rate down the HFR only performs one complete sweep every 64 seconds. Starting in C26, dust detection using the EZ sensor was added, and also periodic Langmuir Probe sweeps every 8128 seconds.
