Trigger 2 Description
Sequence: C7 (Venus-1)
Trigger 2 (Venus-1 Science Mode)
This mode is designed to provide HFR data to search for lightning during the Venus-1
gravity assist flyby. No LFR, MFR, Wideband or Waveform measurements are made.
The frequency range 71 KHz - 16 MHz is covered. This Trigger writes the data to RPWS memory,
where it was later MRO'd to telemetry.

The complete sweep takes about 2 seconds. Four Sweeps were collected in each HFR analysis record,
with the time between each record being 7.875 seconds.
