END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 74 Description Sequence: C14 (Venus-2) (ESB) Trigger 74 (Venus-2 Observation Setup) This mode is a modification of the Venus-1 observations. The HFR is allowed to free run, and the HFR data is NOT compressed. LFR, MFR, and WFR data are also collected, resulting in the entire RPWS frequency range (1 Hz - 16 MHz) to be covered. Trigger 74 is intended to be used to start the Venus observation, then Triggers 78, 7A, and 7C may be used to move through the desired configurations. Trigger 78 may subsequently be used to re-enter the mode initiated by trigger 74 without incurring the long setup time. Receiver Frequency Range Sensors Time between Snapshots -------- ---------------- ------------------ ---------------------- LFR 1 - 25 Hz EX, BX 16 seconds MFR 25 - 12 KHz EX, BZ 32 seconds WFR .1 - 2.5 KHz EX, EW, BX, BY, BZ 342 seconds HFR 3.6 KHz - 16 MHz EX 32 seconds The HFR is in a special Venus-2 Lightning Scan mode.

However, the HFR actually only performs one complete sweep every 2.5 seconds.
