Notes from tracking tests - friday april 5, 2002

used two command loads, tracktest.ssf (short test), tracktest_long.ssf.
karl built them 

Script was to: 

first load all the dpu macros tt_load_dpu_   .prc
      load the sequence (tracktestk?)
      load the tpu ephemeris for the first case
      send ca_start command (good or bad) ** this arms CRISP for encounter
          (macro will not kick off if don't send this command, test 2 
            didn't work because of this)
      send gc_ca enable  
      reset met to 3 minutes before first command
      send macro load 1016   proc
          commands kick off as planned now

      recycle - on short sequence
      load new ephemeris 
      send ca_start command (good or bad)  
      send gc_ca enable
      send macro load 1016


did not need to load the other structures, only 7-9 


RESULTS:


1) nominal - worked, selected macro 4

2) 80km early?    - tracked ok, but did not kick off macro (because didn't send 
             the ca_start command. 

3) 80km late?  - tracked ok, kicked off macro 2 (correctly)

4) 115km     -  tracked ok, kicked off macro 3
      roll - was actually 117km!!! 

5) 143km    - tracked ok kicked of macro 4

6) 160km   

7) 2 chebys failed

8) 3 chebys worked

9) 330km   - this one worked

10)  did not run 530


11) did not run 830
