END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger B4 Description Sequence: C38, ... Trigger B4 ( Titan deltaN/N mode) This mode assumes a background survey mode, such as 8A or A0, is running. The duty cycle of the Langmuir Probe and the WFR are increased. The WFR is connected in 3-channel mode to the two voltage-biased cycliners, EU and EV, and their voltage is set to +5V. The third WFR channel is connected to the LP sphere, which is biased at +4V. Every 10 seconds a 1024-sample (per channel) data set is acquired by the WFR in 2.5KHz mode. The Langmuir Probe performs a sweep every 20 seconds and between sweeps, does a 256-sample density mode measurement at 20 Hz. The MFR is connected to the EW antenna, since the EX antenna is being used in deltaN/N mode. Also the LFDR and MFDR use the EW antenna for their electric field measurements (in addition to the BX antenna). They each acquire data once a minute. The WBR acquires data in 80-KHz mode. Sounder is disabled, and dust detection is disabled in this mode. The target bit rate is 100 kbps. Measured bitrate was about 55 kbps when in S&ER-3 mode, measured during C39. In C40, at a higher rate telemetry mode, the measured bitrate was 99 kbps.

However, the time between analyses is set to 10 seconds to avoid interference from the LP sweep. No Sounder measurements are made in this mode. No onboard dust detection is done either.
