/*----------------------------------------------------- /* SPU HLSW V9.0 - WHAT'S NEW !! /* /* Project: HSO/PACS, SPU HLSW /* Contact: spuhlsw@prip.tuwien.ac.at /* Date: 11-05-2004 /*----------------------------------------------------- SPU HLSW 9.0 is positioned as an upgrade of SPU HLSW 8.6, containing the following new features: - Include the memory ID in the dump response packet. - Increase the TM packet buffer size. - TM Packet transmission for red SPU in photometry improved. - Include memory scrubbing for EEPROM. 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. include the memory ID in the dump response packet -------------------------------------------------- The memory ID that defines memory type (PM or DM) or block (RAM, extended RAM, DPRAM) is now included in the dump response packet. i.e. in the packets sent to acknowledge the dump command. Increase the TM packet buffer size ----------------------------------- The physical size of TM packet buffer has been increased from 95 TM packets to 305 TM packets. This is done to avoid the loss of science data for lower compression efficiency. TM Packet transmission for red SPU in photometry improved ---------------------------------------------------------- In order to avoid the science packet loss in photometry for red SPU, the SW (only for LWL photometry data) takes care to send every 4 seconds a part of TM packets such that the DPU buffer does not overflow. This can be performed in the red SPU as a compressed entity time interval is ususally 12 or 24 seconds for respectively 40 HZ or 20 HZ readout rate. Include memory scrubbing for EEPROM ------------------------------------ This version of the SW checks memory errors in EEPROM. The following c/h files has been changed since HLSW version 8.6: - dump.c - fill_out.c - genspu.h - hk.c - spu_io.c - spuasw.h /* --- EOF ---
