END_OBJECT = TEXT END Trigger 80 Description Sequence: C40, ... Trigger 80 ( Direction-Finding Survey ) This mode is designed to provide a direction-finding survey mode, with standard temporal resolution and spectral resolution. Both low-frequency and high-frequency WFR measurements are made, using "toggle" mode. Dust detection is included. Langmuir Probe sweeps are performed every 640 seconds. The Sounder is disabled. WFR measurements are made every 32 seconds, which provides both LFR and MFR2 replacement data via ground processing of the WFR data. However, the snapshot length is set to 512 samples in order to avoid interference from the HFR, which is in direction-finding mode Receiver Frequency Range Sensors Time between Snapshots -------- ---------------- -------------- ---------------------- MFR 25 - 12 KHz EX, BZ 32 seconds WFR 1 - 25 Hz EX,EW,BX,BY,BZ 64 seconds WFR .1 - 2.5 KHz EX,EW,BX,BY,BZ 64 seconds HFR 3.6 KHz - 16 MHz EX, EW 16 seconds LP N/A Langmuir Probe 640 seconds The HFR is in direction-finding mode for its entire frequency range from 3.6 KHz to 16 MHz. Thus, measurements are made on all three monopoles EU, EV and EW. This mode is defined by: Correlations Channels Integ. Size Frequency Band Ant.

However, to allow time for WFR and MFR snapshots to occur without interference, one complete sweep is done every 32 seconds. To avoid the interference from the DF mode, the MFR uses the EW antenna.
