END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 92 Description Sequence: C27 Trigger 92 ( Aurora/SKR Mode, inside source region ) This mode is designed to provide a survey mode with DF-2 (direction-finding with 2 antennas), and additionally provide high frequency & time resolution for a narrow band in the SKR frequency region to resolve fine structure. Both low and high frequency WFR measurements are made. In high-frequency mode, there are 512 samples taken for the EX and EW antennas. These channels are also analyzed onboard using the LFDR FFT software, and the LFDR data is provided in addition to the waveform data. In low-frequency mode, 5-channel 2048-sample WFR measurements are made every 32 seconds. Langmuir Probe sweeps are performed every 32 seconds; density measurements are made at a 100-Hz sampling rate to match the Low-Frequency WFR measurements. A simple up-going ramp sweep is performed; with a future software update, this will become a down-going voltage ramp. A Sounder measurement is scheduled every 5 minutes.

However, the time between analyses is 11.875 seconds. Every 300 seconds the HFR normal analyses are replaced by a Sounder analysis. The Sounder operation has a duration of approximately 40 seconds. This Sounder analysis is defined by: sounder mode: EZ AAA 1st sounder freq: 0 last sounder freq: 89 T1 delay: 10 msec T2 delay: 25 msec T3 delay: 25 msec passive spectra: 2 active spectra: 2 # of cycles: 1 sounder output A: 3 autos sounder output B: 3 AGCs
