17. PACS IBDR 27/28 Feb 2002 SPU High Level Software17 SPU SW Interfaces DPU TO SPU SW Interface –Communication is bi-directional (commands, response, HK and compressed data) –All SPU SW activities are commanded by DPU (e.g. start, stop, …) –SPU SW acknowledges the reception of all DPU commands according to the communication protocol –SPU SW sends telemetry packets to DPU –DPU checks the “life” of the SPU SW via the HK DEC/MEC to SPU SW Interface –Communication is unidirectional (DEC/MEC to SPU) –Packet from DEC/MEC to SPU consists of science data and a header –Science data are detector readouts and test channels –Header contains the instrument configuration and the compression parameters
