Rehearsals

So far we have run three rehearsals of operations:

Safe Modes

I am also on the committee for safe mode testing.


ASCDS - SciOps

The software folks have code to generate automated daily reports like this one from Thermal Vac test. We are testing (4/99) our trending capabilty. They are also developing a bunch of standalone IDL based analysis tools. Screen grabs here show the strip plotter (with the derivative tool ), ACIS Level 1 visulaizer, HRMA thermal visulaizer.
