  2. Planning and Scheduling Overview Scientist Has Observing Plan Idea Scientist Creates Detailed Plan Plan is E-Mailed to SECCHI Planner Schedule Gets Uploaded to SECCHI Plan Gets Converted to an Observing Schedule

  3. Creating an Observing Plan • Detail is essential! • User needs to be aware of the various processing tables http://stereo.nrl.navy.mil/planning_tool/orsay/pt_image_taking_commands.html • Image category (Normal, Dark, Sequence, etc.) • Image Parameters http://stereo.nrl.navy.mil/planning_tool/orsay/pt_tables.html • Camera setup (7 entires per instrument) • Exposure (7 entires per instrument) • Image processing (100 entries for all instruments) • ROI and Occulter Mask (1 of each per instrument) • Be aware of telemetry constraints • Be aware of instrument constraints • All full-res images will be 2176x2048 • Indicate if SC-A and SC-B images should be synced

  4. Other Information... • Tables can be obtained from the SECCHI wiki page under “Planning” • http://secchi.nrl.navy.mil/wiki • Observing plans should be submitted several days in advance • Plans should be sent to the SECCHI Operations Scientist (Simon Plunkett)

  5. Scheduling • Observing plans, once approved, are entered into the IDL-based planning tool by the SECCHI planner (Ed Esfandiari) • Planning tool is “a set of IDL routines (of LASCO/EIT heritage) that generates daily-weekly command files and/or synoptic programs for commanding the 3 SCIP and 2 HI telescopes. It is a GUI tool that takes advantage of all available telescopes and on-board resources to maximize the use of the telemetry downlink.” • Planning tool monitors image sequences, buffer sizes, partition (SSR1, SSR2) sizes, downlink rates, etc

  6. Typical Scheduling Steps • Observing plan is scheduled through a series of IDL widgets • Either a new observing sequence is created or an old existing sequence is imported. • Reusing observing plans can save a great deal of time!

  7. Verifying the Plan • An “OS Num” (Observing Sequence Number) is generated for each unique observation • Once all OS's are complete, the schedule is verified • Schedule conflicts produce a warning

  8. Schedule successfully created!

  9. Summary • Plan your observations carefully and be as detailed as you can • If at all possible, use the table entry numbers • Be aware of telemetry, buffer and instrument restrictions • Try to reuse old observing plans • Allow plenty of time • Make use of the planning resources on the SECCHI wiki page

  10. Jan-Feb 2007 Schedules • Over 100 calibration, first light and commissioning schedules • First draft of operations synoptics • Synced COR and HI observations • Different SC-A and SC-B EUVI observations

  11. Operations Synoptics-First Draft • Synced COR and HI images • SC-A http://stereo.nrl.navy.mil/planning_tool/orsay/schedule_operations_A.png • 5487 images (1442 EUVI, 861 COR1, 194 COR2, 1189 HI-1, 1801 HI-2) • NRL EUVI version – less images, longer exposures • 52KB upload file size (1157 commands) • SC-B (pushing the limits)http://stereo.nrl.navy.mil/planning_tool/orsay/schedule_operations_B.png • 7476 images (3431 EUVI, same COR and HI images as SC-A) • Lockheed EUVI version – more images, shorter exposures • 98KB upload file size (2572 commands)

  12. Required Details • EUVI • Normal • SC, FW, WL, FPS, IPT, ExpT, CamT • Double • SC, FW, WL, WL, FPS, IPT, ExpT, CamT • Dark • SC, FPS, IPT, CamT, ExpTime (0:99998ms) • LED • SC, FW, WL, FPS, IPT, CamT, Pulse (1-3300000), Color • Continuous • SC, FW, WL, FPS, IPT, CamT • Sequence (n=2-4) • SC, FW, WL*n, FPS, IPT, ExpT, CamT, Cadence (0=close-as-possible)

  13. Required Details • COR1 ad COR2 • Normal • SC, Polar, IPT, ExpT, CamT • Double • SC, Polar, Polar, IPT, ExpT, CamT • Dark • SC, IPT, CamT, ExpTime (0:99998ms) • LED • SC, Polar, IPT, CamT, Pulse (1-3300000), Color • Continuous • SC, Polar, IPT, CamT • Sequence (n=2-4) • SC, Polar*n, IPT, ExpT, CamT, Cadence (0=close-as-possible)

  14. Required Details • HI-1 and HI-2 • Normal • SC, IPT, ExpT, CamT • Dark • SC, IPT, CamT, ExpTime (0:99998ms) • LED • SC, IPT, CamT, Pulse (1-4300000), Color • Continuous • SC, IPT, CamT • Sequence (n=2-99) • SC, IPT, ExpT, CamT, Cadence (0=close-as-possible)

  15. An Example • Scientist requests • Full field EUVI images on SC-A every 2-hrs • S1 FilterWheel, 284A, 1 sec exposure • SECCHI planner requires • SC-A, EUVI, Normal, FW=S1, Wave=284, FPS=Off, IPT=0, ExpT=6, CamT=1, Cadence=120min • Where... • IPTbl 0 >> SSR1, Rice Compressed • EXPTbl 6 >> 1.0 Second exposure • CamTbl 1 >> 2176x2048, no CCD summing, Hi gain
