5.6 Data Rates and VolumesData rates & volumes are all aspects of Concept-of-Operation (Con-Ops). As such,cadence, duty cycle & instrument resolution can vastly impact the size of datagenerated by the INMS instrument.The aim is to write the INMS control script so that the allocated SCIENCE data rate(2Mb/day TBC) is generated by the instrument.5.6.1 Example INMS Operation ScenarioAs an example to illustrate how this could be achieved a script could be developed todo the following:Generate SCIENCE data packets every 120 secGenerate STM data packets every 5 mins with STM samples taken every 60 secTake HK data packets every 10 minsWith the above example, the various SCRIPT parameters for the INMS commandswould achieve approx. 1.8Mb/day of SCIENCE DATA.Note: These figures DO NOT include downlink data-rate budgets.Detailed design is on-going, so more detailed information of operation will be providedat a later stage.
