CDS IDLE CHECK

CDS IDLE CHECK

NOTE: CDS has created 4 tstols that will allow the FOT to run scripts for common CDS activities. The 4 tstols are for CDS submode preparation to make sure CDS is properly prepped for the sumbode change, to safe CDS incase of a proton event, to close CDS doors, and to open CDS doors.

TSTOL - CDS_SUBMODE_PREP

TSTOL - CDS_PROTON_SAFE

TSTOL - CDS_SHUTDOORS

TSOTL - CDS_OPENDOORS


NOTE: The notes below are old

How to check if CDS is idle so we can do a submode change:

  • On cds08 (back corner computer) look at the screen called CDS Control.
  • Under Mode-Sequence status, look at ACKMODE and AK5SSTAT.
  • When running, ACKMODE says EXE_VDS or other things like that, and AK5SSTAT says RUNNING.
  • When idle, ACKMODE says READY_BOTH, and AK5SSTAT says FINISHED or IDLE.
  • If CDS has crashed during the submode change, then you'll see the spacecraft time (at the top) going in an infinite loop.
