The COmet Nucleus TOUR (CONTOUR) spacecraft carries two imagers, the CONTOUR Remote Imager/Spectrometer (CRISP) and the CONTOUR Forward Imager (CFI). This document describes the software features unique to the CRISP DPU. Included are descriptions of sensor architecture, major subsystems, telemetry, commands, support processing, and the boot programs.
For all multi-bit or multi-byte numbers, the first byte sent has the most numerical significance; this is so-called "big-endian" format. This convention applies to arguments in commands, data in telemetry, and messages over the 1553 bus.
