Trigger A0 Description
Sequence: C37, ...
Trigger A0 ( SEDDF Mode )
This mode is designed to provide a Survey mode capable of detecting SED's and doing 2-antenna direction-finding
on them, 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. A Sounder measurement is scheduled every 10 minutes. MFDR measurements are made every
32 seconds, which provides MFR2 replacement data, while the LFR measurements are also made every 32 seconds,
providing the 25-Hz LFR data. The HFR uses shorter integration constants for H1 and H2, with
the goal to detect SED's, and it is run twice as fast as the other survey modes.

The HFR is in a modified "Composite Survey" mode, which includes
both auto- and cross-correlations for H1, and differs from standard
Survey mode in that its integration constants for H1 and H2 are shorter.
This mode is defined by:
Correlations Channels Integ. Size Frequency
Band Ant. Auto- Cross- per Band df Period Rep Steps kHz Start - Stop
---- ---- ----- ------ -------- -- ------ --- ----- ---- ------------
ABC 2E y y 32 n 500 1 3.6-319KHz
HF1 2E y y 2 n 40 1 60 25 0.325-1.825MHz
HF2 1E n n 1 n 40 1 72 200 1.825-16.225MHz
Bands ABC require 1.580 sec to complete, H1 requires 2.852 sec, and
H2 requires 2.534 sec for a total of 6.966 sec per sweep. The hfr
cycle time is 8.000 seconds.
Every 600 seconds the HFR normal analyses are interrupted by a Sounder analysis.
The Sounder operation has a duration of approximately 40 seconds.
This Sounder analysis is defined by:
sounder mode: Ex AAA

last sounder freq: 89
T1 delay: 5 msec

T3 delay: 15 msec
passive spectra: 2

sounder output A: 3 autos
sounder output B: 3 AGCs
