Second ISSI Meeting, Bern, Switzerland, February 19-23 19 23 2007<br />

Telemetry limitations<br />

�� Analog readings are 6-bit 6 bit only: 64 discrete levels<br />

means very low amplitude resolution<br />

�� At the lowest data rate, a given parameter<br />

appears in the stream only once every 51.2<br />

minutes<br />

�� Late in the mission, many readings are outside<br />

calibrated range, some nonsensical<br />

�� Aging sensors may not be reliable<br />

�� When Vbus bus < 28 V, V,<br />

readings are questionable<br />
