EIS Master Study Database

Making a plan to run on the flight spare (pm)

This procedure describes the steps to make a plan after importing a study into the database. Multiple studies can be imported one after the after by repeating step 11 for each study.

Testing the studies can be done individually by repeating steps 13 through 21 for each study (and, as the ICU is already on, steps 22 and 23 should be omitted). Alternatively, the studies can be put on the same timeline and tested sequentially by inserting the first study on the timeline in step 14 and then repeating 13 and appending the study to the previous study in step 14.

Procedure

Run the make plan program.
In the xterm that is running sswidl type:
- @p ↩
3 windows will pop up. Select the main window (image in the next step).
Use the 'Study' menu to select the new study to load into the plan:
- images/plan/pm_mk_plan_2_2.png
- This will present this window:
  
  images/plan/pm_mk_plan_3_3.png
- Either select the study from the list in the upper panel (will be at the bottom, so scroll to the end) or search for it by typing into the acronym field (highlighted in red).
- If this is the first or only study to be tested then insert the study at the cursor timeline (press the button highlighted in green).
- If this is the second or more of multiple studies to be tested then press the append button (highlighted in blue).
Select 'CPT' from the tools menu:
Select:
- 'Reset' (highlighted in red)
- 'Hard - OBSTBL and map' (highlighted in yellow)
- 'Egse Output (ASCII)' (highlighted in green)
- 'Egse output (Intel Hex)' (highlighted in green)
The window should look similar to this:

Press the 'Test CPT' button (highlighted in blue).
After a successfull run of CPT the window should now look like this:

images/plan/pm_mk_plan_8_8.png

Press the 'Run CPT' button (highlighted in red). This should be ok too and generate similar output in the window. This step will generate the plan which we can use to test the new study on the flight spare. Finally press the 'Quit' button (highlighted in ryellow) to close the window.
Press the 'Quit' button and in the dialog window that pops up press 'OK'. PICTURE.
Exit the mk_plan program by clicking the 'quit' buttons in the IDL windows.
In the xterm exit sswidl.
Type:
- exit ↩
In the xterm create a new version of the plan
