An integration line_2: time of 10 seconds with 7 bins produces a readout every line_3: 70 seconds. It is necessary that each bin contain line_4: consecutive 10 second integrations. 16 of these observations line_5: provides 18.7 minutes of dark count data. line_6: All deflections are 2048, 2048. line_8: The first 3 dark monitor proposals (1408, 2841, 4065) were line_9: run after a PMDB Change Request changed the spacing to 16. line_10: When 4065 did not run as expected, the spacing error was line_11: re-discovered and corrected in proposal 5039. line_12: SPACING=16 ensures 10 consecutive seconds of dark data line_13: rather than 50 non-consecutive 0.2 s periods. (LES) ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: Estimated observing time = 12 exposures x 18.67 minutes = line_2: 224.04 minutes = 3.73 hours for Side 1. line_3: Estimates based on 15 month lifetime for Cycle 4; line_4: monitor run twice every 2.5 months (1 in SAA; 1 out SAA). line_5: Guiding Tolerance: none - internal test only line_7: Second execution of this test should be ONLY ONE(1) MONTH line_8: after first execution. ! question: 5 section: 2 line_1: These are internal tests and do not require any special line_2: pointing of the telescope. There is no carrousel motion. line_3: Line 11 should be executed completely WITHIN the SAA. line_4: Line 10 should be executed OUTSIDE of the SAA line_5: but should NOT be interrupted by an SAA passage. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: The basic goals are long term trend analysis and line_2: improvement of statistical accuracy. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: HULBERT fname: STEPHEN mi: J. title: DR. category: PI inst: STSCI addr_1: 3700 SAN MARTIN DRIVE city: BALTIMORE state: MD zip: 21218 country: USA ! ! end of general_form_address records !
