THEMIS IDPU FSW 11/29/ UCB TEST RESULTS GENERAL NOTES  MPT Form : White background on Measured Packet Counts means <10% variance from “Expected” column. Yellow means over 10% variance.  Accelerated tests had issues with very slow packets  Telemetry Segment Packet Minimums interfered with packet counts since we could not read all the packets out of memory (some were still being worked on).  The durations of PB and WB were difficult to verify through this method. Memory capacity drives the amount collected. Estimated time is entered by the test director to check consistency between the PB and WB APIDs.  The Actual Playback time (in seconds) to empty the memory is needed for the test to get all the data out of the SSR. Normally, only half the SSR will be played out.  APID 451 Trigger Rate changed to ½ Hz (was 1 Hz) in last P345 test  APID 452 SST Engineering Data to be 1 packet/Hour (was disabled) in last P345 test

THEMIS IDPU FSW 11/29/ UCB P1 TAIL RESULTS Measure Packet Counts match to within 10% of expectation (white background). Yellow means >10% variance.
