1. -1- The fundamental function checks of EWO, WPT-Pre, and IPD and their I/F checks will be done inside the MHI. Function and I/F checks of the LF-SC/DB-SC with the SC-Pre. will be conducted in Kanazawa Univ. But the schedule is not fixed at this moment. The PME integration/interface tests in Kyoto univ. will start on August 25 (see the schedule table of the next page). The extension tests of the WPT-S and MEFISTO-S are conducted during the system EM integration test (not conducted in Kyoto univ.). PME unit level environment tests will move to June 2009.. Plan of the PME integration/interface tests in 2008 (tentative) 2008.7.26 >*Please update your plan, and submit the following information to Y. Kasaba (kasaba@pat.geophys.tohoku.ac.jp) & H. Kojima (kojima@rish.kyoto-u.ac.jp) (1) 1st I/F test (Mainly focusing on the analogue I/F)[Sep.-Oct., 2008] When you can join? Which configuration of EM or BBM for this? What is your minimum plan from the point of your view ? (2) EWO-FPGA/MDP I/F test (Mainly focusing on the digital I/F)[Nov., 2008 – Dec., 2008] (3) 2nd I/F test (Check of the whole PME system)[Apr., 2009]

3. -3- EM Schedule for PME(Jan. – Jun., 2009)

4. -4- PME Unit Level check: Site: EM shield chamber room of RISH, Kyoto Configuration: PME + MDP simulator without the PSU Installation of each board into the PME chassis and brief function check April 1-3:EWO/IPD April 6:SORBET April 7:MEFISTO April 8:AM2P April 9:SC/WPT-pre April 10:MGF-I/MGF-O PME function tests April 13-17Function tests: All PME teams C&DH interface test #2 May 18-June 12, 2009 Since the tests will be conducted in the end-to-end, the whole PME will join this test. The detailed schedule will be announced in the design meeting.

Or ISAS* PME + MDP without PSU** (PME is installed inside the shield room. The MDP is setup outside the shield room) ・ Long wire harness between PME and MDP (Who ?). The length of the harness depends on the measurement site. CDC RE02 RE04 Measurement site will decided after the confirmation of cleanness of the magnetic field background in Kyoto Univ. shield room(Kojima). ** If the EM PSU is available, it will be used. Otherwise, the power is supplied by the buttery. September, 2009 Thermal VacuumISASPME (Power is supplied outside the chamber). - with MDP(out of the chamber) Or - with five Spacecubes? (out of the chamber) ・ Long power line harness (Who ?) ・ Temperature sensor harness (JAXA ?) ・ Harness for digital data (Who ?) Temperatures at measurement points are monitored by sensors. During the test, the detailed functions of each component are not checked. The function of each board in specific temperature conditions should be tested by the thermal test in each development site in advance (Each team). September, 2009 ShockISASPMEDuring the test, the acceleration of each board is monitored by the sensor. After the test, the function of each board will be checked through each spacecube. September, 2009 VibrationISASPMEDuring the test, the acceleration of each board is monitored by the sensor. After the test, the function of each board will be checked through each spacecube.
