/*-----------------------------------------------------



SPU HLSW 8.6 is positioned as an upgrade of SPU HLSW 8.0, containing the following new features:

- increase the average time interval between TM packets transmission in buffer Tranmission mode in photometry to 60 ms.

- Use EDAC for memory check

- Include information of used reduction algorithm REAL and memory check status in the HK



This will be explained in the specific sections that follow.



The required Decompression SW version is:



- Decompress8 (Ground Decompression Software in Java) The SPU HLSW Development Team.



Increase the average time interval between TM packets transmission in buffer Tranmission mode in photometry to 60 ms

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To avoid the TM packet loss bewteen SPU and DPU, the average time interval between TM packets in buffer Tranmission mode in photometry is increased to 60.



Use EDAC for memory check

--------------------------

EDAC is used to check for memory errors (Single error and double error). The error counters are signalled in the HK.



Include information of used reduction algorithm REAL and memory check status in the HK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In HK, the CR field is renamed to REAL. This field will contain the ID for the reduction algorithm used by HLSW if reduction sollicited. The HBC1 is renamed MEM_STATUS_CNTS and will contain the memory errors counters.
