Herschel EQM – Results and Lessons Learnt6/7 Feb 2006 PACS Overall Analysis4 Warm Electronics and OBSW SPU-L failure: loose FPGA  removed, repaired and re-installed DPU AVM1 failure: broken inductor  removed and repaired, exchange with CFM2 but that one generated corrupted output only  re-installed AVM1 SPU OBSW: upgraded from V11.1 to 11.7 to prevent IMT data losses due to a known bug, detected during ILT SPU OBSW: Data rate / CPU workload too high (as expected from ILT) DPU HW/OBSW: Few known and new bugs detected, but no major show-stopper (Corrupted packet checksums, duplicate HK packets, SSC discontinuities) BOLC: 20Hz command had unexpected impact on supply groups

9. Herschel EQM – Results and Lessons Learnt6/7 Feb 2006 PACS Overall Analysis9 Test Results (5) Temperature sensors: - nominal performance for all but the two blue detector sensors - 1 sensor was recovered, apparently a contact problem on a DMC connector Blue detector heater: - o.k. (but thermal shimming to be improved) Optical performances: - no particular tests done, since no telescope/OGSE available - straylight - FoV maps do not indicate any other problem
