5.0 Constants

This section describes constant codes used with the IP&CL structures. These codes are preliminary, and will be final upon release of the instrument software and hardware (some constants are defined by the DEA and DPA hardware design). These constants are listed below in the form of "C" programming enumerated types, or pre-processor definitions. Unless otherwise specified, the value of an enumerated symbol is the value of the preceding symbol plus 1. The first symbol in the enumerated list has a value of 0.

    CCD_LASTID = CCD_COUNT - 1
};

For reference purposes only, the following diagram illustrates the relative layout of the indicated CCDs in the focal plane assembly, as viewed from the High Resolution Mirror Assembly (HRMA). This information was obtained from the "Focal Plane to Detector Housing Interface Control Document", MIT 36-02203, Rev. A.

5.6 CCD Row and Column Position Definition

The following illustration defines the CCD Row and Column positions used by the ACIS Software. Row 0 is defined to be the CCD imaging row closest to the Framestore. Column 0 is defined to be the left-most imaging column (i.e. the first to be clocked out of output node A).

5.7 Event Grade Code Definition

The following illustration defines the CCD Grade Code bit-definitions for a 3x3 event, where the row and column positions are indicated relative to the reported center of the event.

The following illustration defines the CCD Grade Code bit-definitions for a 1x3 event, where the column positions are indicated relative to the reported center of the event.

5.8 Huffman Compression Table Format

The on-board Huffman table array consists of a 32-word index table followed by a set of Huffman compression tables. Each word in the table is indexed by table slot id, and indicates the offset of the corresponding Huffman Compression table after the index table (i.e. a value of 0 indicates that the Huffman table immediately follows the index table, a value of 200 indicates that the table is 200 32-bit words after the index table). If an index table word is 0xffffffff, there is no Huffman table referenced by corresponding slot.

The format of each Huffman table is as follows:

32-bit Words Item
1 Table Identifier
1 Low Limit
1 Table Size
1 Truncation Code
1 Bad Bias Code
1 Bad Pixel Code
Table Size Remaining Huffman Code Entries
Bits (LSB first) Item
5 Code Bit Length
32 - (Code Bit Length + 5) Pad
Code Bit Length Huffman Code

5.9 DEA PRAM/SRAM Load Format

The DEA PRAM/SRAM load format is as follows:

16-bit Words Item
1 Sequence Type (always 0)
1 Section Count
Variable Sections, where the format of each section is as follows:
16-bit Words Item
1 CCD Controller Select, where:
bit 0 selects CCD I0 (0 - no load, 1 - load)
bit 1 selects CCD I1
bit 2 selects CCD I2
bit 3 selects CCD I3
bit 4 selects CCD S0
bit 5 selects CCD S1
bit 6 selects CCD S2
bit 7 selects CCD S3
bit 8 selects CCD S4
bit 9 selects CCD S5
If bit 15 is 0, load the data into SRAM
If bit 15 is 1, load the data into PRAM
1 Index into SRAM or PRAM
1 Word Count
Word Count Data to Load into SRAM or PRAM

5.10 FEP Load Format

The Front End Processor load format is as follows:

16-bit Words Item
1 Program Type (always 0)
1 Section Count
1 Execute Address (low order 16-bits)
1 Execute Address (high order 16-bits)
1 Command Mailbox Address (low order 16-bits)
1 Command Mailbox Address (high order 16-bits)
1 Ring Buffer Address (low order 16-bits)
1 Ring Buffer Address (high order 16-bits)
Variable Sections, where the format of each section is as follows:
16-bit Words Item

* Bakeout Enable is now prevented from being used without a small patch to the limit table. Attempts to set this field to any value other than zero will result in a CMDRESULT_ITEM_CLIPPED result code.

The bit-fields of the DEA and FEP power settings correspond to the CCD and FEP identifier codes, respectively. For example, bit 0 of the SETTING_DEA_POWER field corresponds to CCD Controller I0 (CCD_I0), bit 1 corresponds to CCD Controller I1, etc. A "1" indicates that the corresponding board is to be turned on, and "0" indicates that the board should be off.

The settings from SYSSET_CCD_BASE through SYSSET_CCD_END index the settings for CCD I0. The arrays of settings for the remaining CCDs immediately follow SYSSET_CCD_END, and are indexed in CCD Id order.

5.23 Miscellaneous FEP Constants

The following list some miscellaneous constants and limits used by the Front End Processor software:

    #define BIAS_BAD    (0xffe)   /* bias parity error value */

enum GradedMeanCode
{
    CORNER_MEAN_LOW = -4096,	/* Graded Mode Corner Mean below -4095 */
    CORNER_MEAN_MISSING = 4095	/* Graded Mode No Valid Corner Pixels */
};

[see eventTeGraded.cornerMean]

5.25 Bias Parity Errors in Te5x5 Mode

A feature in the implementation of Timed Exposure 5x5 mode within the FEP can generate bogus bias parity errors. With the digestbiaserror patch installed, these can be readily identified within patchDataBiasError packets from the following unique combination of field values:

biasErrors = {
    row             = 0
    column          = 1022
    evenPixelFlags  = 15
    oddPixelFlags   = 0
}

All patchDataBiasError elements with this combination of values should be discarded.

6.0 Miscellaneous Notes

6.1 Telemetry Fill Pattern

When the ACIS Back End Processor (BEP) has no telemetry packets to send when queried by the spacecraft for data, the BEP hardware places a constant byte value into the telemetry stream. This value is 0xb7 (hexadecimal).

When the instrument is not powered, the telemetry hardware logic tends to float to a logical 1, usually producing a fill byte of 0xff (don't count on this).

6.2 System Configuration Table Limits

Some of the numerically possible analog settings in the System Configuration Table (see Section 5.15) can cause voltages that exceed the tested limits of the CCDs to be applied to the CCDs. In order to prevent this, the instrument contains a table of maximum value settings for each System Configuration Table item. If a command is received to change a setting which exceeds its limit value, the value will be clipped to its maximum value. The following limits are applied to their corresponding settings:

7.0 Table Description

The software structures are described using a single table. Each column in the table describes a particular attribute or property of a software record or field belonging to a record. Each row in the table describes a field of a record. By convention, columns which describe a record are included only in the first field of the record.

7.1 Bit and Byte Order

Within ACIS, all data is packed least-significant bit first. For example, two 12-bit words are bit-packed as follows, where w0 corresponds to the first word to pack, w1 corresponds to the second, and b0 through b11 indicate the bits of the corresponding word (b0 corresponds to the least-significant bit, and b11 corresponds to the most-significant bit of the 12-bit value):

Table 3: ACIS Internal Bit Order
Byte Location Bit 7
(msb)		 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
(lsb)
0 w0 w0 w0 w0 w0 w0 w0 w0
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w0 w0 w0 w0
b3 b2 b1 b0 b11 b10 b9 b8
2 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
b11 b10 b9 b8 b7 b6 b5 b4

7.2 Column Definitions

The column definitions are as follows:

Table 4: ACIS Software IP&CL Structures Table Column Definitions
Column
Number		 Name Description
A Record Description The first field of each record contains a description of the record in this column.
B Record Name This is the name of the record being described. This must be filled in for each field in the table.
C Field Number This is the order of the field within the record.
D Subfield Number Unused by ACIS
E Owner This field indicates the owner of the field. For ACIS, this field always contains the string "ACIS"
F Field Name This is the name of the field.
G Mnemonic This is intended to be the 8-character mnemonic of the field. Currently, only the last two characters are meaningful. "CI" indicates that the fields belong to a command packet record, "XF" indicates that they belong to a telemetry packet record, and "IT" indicate that the fields belong to an internal structure definition, usable within both command and telemetry packet records.
H Type This indicates the data type of the field. This may contain the following:
bit - The field is a bit-field, whose length is determined by the dimension column (see column I). If field's Start Range (see Column O) is negative, the value of the field is represented using two's complement, otherwise, the field is treated as unsigned.
uint[8,16,32] - The field is an 8, 16, or 32 bit unsigned integer.
int[8,16,32] - The field is an 8, 16, or 32 bit 2's complement signed integer
"record name" - The field is a structure whose's type is defined by the referenced record name.
I Dimension This is used to define an array of elements, or to specify the number of bits in a bit-field. This may be defined as a constant number, or as a formula
J Max. Dimension Unused by ACIS
K Variable Unused by ACIS
L Field Text This describes the contents of the field
M Size in Bytes Unused by ACIS
N Total Size Unused by ACIS
O Start Range This is the lowest value that can be contained to the field.
P End Range This is the largest value that can be contained in the field.
Q Units This describes the units of the field. This is currently unspecified by ACIS.
R Value This specifies the value of the field. This field is unused by ACIS. The corresponding information is provided using the Start Range and End Range fields.
S Format Unused by ACIS
T Question Unused by ACIS
U Alignment This specifies the bit-alignment requirement of the field. For fields defined as an array or record, this specifies the alignment requirement of the first element in the array, or first field in the referenced record.
V Command Timeout This defines the minimum time to allow for a command record to be handled by ACIS. This item is specified for the first field of command records only.
W Tag This is used by ACIS to assist in implementing the described format. It specifies the symbolic Command Opcode, or Telemetry Format Tag for command and telemetry packet records, respectively.
X Allocator This is used by ACIS to assist its code-generator. This specifies the telemetry packet buffer allocator to use for the corresponding telemetry packet record. It is only specified for telemetry packets.
Y Implementation
Key		 This is used by ACIS to assist its code-generator.

7.3 Dimension Formula Description

The dimension field in the table structure may express a constant integer value, or a function of one or more fields in the record description. The dimension formula may use the following operators:

+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
DIV Integer division (truncated)
bitoffset The bit-position of the field within the record
bitsize(record name or type) The number of bits occupied by the referenced record

Typically, the ACIS table definitions use a constant integer value for the dimension, however, some dimensions are coupled to the length of the containing command packet or telemetry packet.

Since the Command Packet Length field describes the total number of 16-bit words in a command packet, command packets which contain a variable number of elements at the end of the packet usually use the following form to describe the number of elements:

(Command Length * 16 - bitoffset) DIV bitsize(field's data type)>

Since the Telemetry Packet Length field describes the total number of 32-bit words in the packet. Telemetry packets which contain a variable number of elements at the end, usually use the following form:

(Telemetry Length * 32 - bitoffset) DIV bitsize(field's data type)

In order to shorten the formula text in the simplified format descriptions, the following abbreviations are used:

Command Length CL
Telemetry Length TL
bitoffset OFF
bitsize SIZE
