END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 3A Description Sequence: C26 Trigger 3A (Hirate 10.5 KHz Baseband WBR) This mode is designed to provide high frequency resolution using the 10.5 KHz WBR, while maintaining a survey mode with standard temporal resolution and spectral resolution. Receiver Frequency Range Sensors Time between Snapshots -------- ---------------- ------- ---------------------- LFR 1 - 25 Hz EX, BX 32 seconds MFR 25 - 12 KHz EW, BZ 32 seconds WBR 0.1 - 10.5 KHz EX 0.125 to 0.375 second* HFR 3.6 KHz - 16 MHz EX, EW 7.375 seconds * While the WBR is scheduled to acquire a 3072-sample snapshot every 1/8 second, in reality it is dependent on the telemetry mode and upon the amount of data compression achieved by the Data Compression Chip. Typically the telemetry mode might be a 60 kbps data rate mode, resulting in something closer to 3/8 second between WBR snapshots. The HFR is in a modified "Composite Survey" mode, with the H1 frequencies which are multiples of 50 KHz excluded to eliminate interference. This mode is defined by: Correlations Channels Integ.
