4. 9 March 2004 Slide 4 Key Electronics Requirements Blackbody Temperature Measurement -Hot Blackbody Range 0 to +40˚C -Ambient Blackbody Range -40 to 0˚C -Long-term accuracy ±0.03˚C (Electronics only) -Measurement Update Rate 2.7 Hz Blackbody Temperature Control -Constant Temperature and Constant Power Modes -HBB Control Temperature Range 0 to +40˚C -ABB Control Temperature Range -40 to 0˚C -Set Point Resolution ≤ 0.2˚C -Set Point Drift ≤ 0.005˚C, for a Controller board temperature change of 1°C Electronics Power 1.2 W, maximum

5. 9 March 2004 Slide 5 Changes Since PDR Control of both blackbodies Maximum total power increases from 3.0 to 5.2 W Redundant heater drivers deleted, dual heaters retained Add low power “Reset” mode Default operation for both blackbodies is constant temperature Add autoranging of temperature measurement ranges Change ±15V supplies to ±12V Add primary overtemperature protection Increase measurement update rate from 2.0 to 2.7 Hz Command and data interface modified as necessary Blackbody thermal environment is colder Increase electronics power from 1.0 to 1.2 W Change controller operating temperature range to -55 to +50°C. (Accuracy guaranteed -40 to +30°C only)

25. 9 March 2004 Slide 25 Flight Test Set-up

26. 9 March 2004 Slide 26 Testing Issues SDL Bus Simulator built with commercial components may not allow testing of Blackbody Controller over entire temperature range. –SDL Bus Simulator required for all electrical tests –SDL Bus Simulator and Blackbody Controller must be installed on the common motherboard in close proximity –Temperature Tests of Blackbody Controller require SDL Bus Simulator to operate over the same temperature range Motherboard does not allow direct measurement of Blackbody Controller power supply currents.

27. 9 March 2004 Slide 27 Calibration Overview Direct Temperature Calibration Only No Temperature to Resistance or Data to Resistance Calibration –Would require extremely precise resistance references –Intermediate calibration allows accumulation of errors –Interchangeability is not an issue Acceptance Test Resistance Measurements –Verify measurement ranges –Linearity
