Ron Ellison was called in and diagnosed the problem. This is my understanding of it: The errors are caused when an SCS address above 7FFF(hex) is computed. This causes the MSB to be set in the target address, and thereby generates an "OBC overflow error". However, the address which is computed is correct and the load executes properly. The bad thing is that the large number of these errors may mask a real error. This error only occurs in SCS 130 if the length is greater than 3400 commands (due to the address mapping of SCS 130). It does not happen in SCS 128 or 129 since their address space is under 7FFF. The problem will be worked tomorrow with flight software, FOT, etc. 2) I checked on the status of the SIM SEA software patch which will raise the calibration curve. Ron did not know what the status was. SOT lead should ask about this tomorrow - it may have been lost. 3) There will be a meeting at 8 am Monday Aug 23 to review the p7 load.
