This encompasses both Stored Commands and Telecommands. telemetry_v_2_9.msw telemetry_v_2_9.asc This document provides an analysis of the TM requirements and constraints, and proposes a design solution. cds_ll_srd.msw cds_ll_srd.asc This document specifies the operational, environmental and functional requirements for the CDS Low-Level Interface (CDSLL) software for CONTOUR/NGIMS. ugsom_v_2_0.msw ugsom_v_2_0.asc This document is a user's guide and software operator's manual for CONTOUR/NGIMS Flight Software. control_tables_for_dummies.msw control_tables_for_dummies.asc This user document provides an overview of the methods and formats for DAC computation, Config Tables and their relation thereof, and Subscan Tables and their relation. eeprom_icd_v2_8.msw eeprom_icd_v2_8.asc This document describes the layout and data formats for the AMB (Adaptive Memory Block) area of EEPROM for the NGIMS instrument. sdd_control_tables.msw sdd_control_tables.asc This document describes the design of the data and algorithms used for Control Tables for the CONTOUR/NGIMS flight software. Control Tables are used for DAC computation, Config Tables and their relation thereof, and Subscan Tables and their relation. hlr.msw hlr.asc This document delineates the high level requirements for Flight Software (FSW) for the CONTOUR/ NGIMS instrument. These are flight software requirements at the highest level, and as such are often somewhat ambiguous; further, unambiguous and verifiable clarification of requirements is provided in other more detailed specifications. release_3204.msw release_3204.asc This document describes the latest FSW build. release_3324.msw release_3324.asc This document describes the current FSW build with the current modifications over the previous release. met_basics.msw met_basics.asc This document explains the MET (Mission Elapsed Time) for Contour/NGIMS. alt_boot.msw alt_boot.asc This document explains the Alternate Boot Method for Contour/NGIMS. woa.msw woa.asc This document provides the set of WOAs for all phases of NGIMS Flight Software Build Procedures. Detailed explanations of the process and each event in the WOAs are provided in NGIMS-FSW-52-BP, 'Flight Software Build Procedures.' test_report_v3708.msw test_report_v3708.asc The NGIMS software v3.7.08 was verified and validated in the GSFC Code 915 electronics laboratory interfaced to the GSE (for S/C TC/TM interface simulation) and the QP Simulator. The v3.7.08 version was not run with the Flight instrument. This report briefly describes the testing. smp.msw smp.asc This document describes the management plan for the Neutral Gas & Ion Mass Spectrometer software. test_report_v3709.msw test_report_v3709.asc This report briefly describes the testing of the NGIMS software v3.7.09. delivery_report_v3709.msw delivery_report_v3709.asc This report summarizes the delivery, status and other deliverables for NGIMS Flight Software (FSW), version 3.7.09. cm.msw cm.asc This document defines the Instrument Software Configuration Management Plan. Configuration Management includes the software build & test process, version approval and release process, and management of changes, configurations, backup and accounting. build_procs.msw build_procs.asc This document provides detailed steps for NGIMS Flight Software Build Procedures. Generation of each new build is documented in WOAs, which are maintained in document NGIMS-FSW-34-WOA. alt_boot_patcher.msw alt_boot_patcher.asc This document contains an explanation of Alt Boot format and the requirements for the Alt Boot Patch Tool. reboot_caper.msw reboot_caper.asc This document contains a description of the occasional quirks that have been reported during integration and testing of the NGIMS instrument with the spacecraft at APL which are clearly results of a 'random' reboot of the FC. doc_list.msw doc_list.asc The file contains a table, which lists the applicable flight software documents for CONTOUR/NGIMS. list.txt This file contains the mapping of Dr. Mahaffy’s original naming scheme to PDS-compliant names.
