S/C Commanding * The S/C pointing must move to the east * The S/C command values get smaller B. SXT * The Sun will appear to move to the west on images * The sun center will move towards the right on reformatted data images, which is: - smaller CCD columns addresses - larger IDL image array column values (it will move to the left on the mainframe SXTQLGG quicklook system - it is opposite of reformatted data) C. HXA * The limb addresses in ADA_DATA.HXA_ADDR(*,0) and ADA_DATA.HXA_ADDR(*,1) get SMALLER * The addresses in PNT_DATA.HXA also get SMALLER D. IRU * The Y data values get LARGER (this is DATA.IRU(1) in the PNT and ADA files) E. TFSS * The X data values get SMALLER (this is DATA.TFSS(0) in the PNT and ADA files) To point to the north on the sun A. S/C Commanding * The S/C pointing must move to the north * The S/C command values get larger B. SXT * The Sun will appear to move to the south on images * The sun center will move down on reformatted data images, which is: - smaller CCD line addresses - smaller IDL image array line values (it will move up on the mainframe SXTQLGG quicklook system - it is opposite of reformatted data) C. HXA * The limb addresses in ADA_DATA.HXA_ADDR(*,0) get SMALLER (X scan) * The limb addresses in ADA_DATA.HXA_ADDR(*,1) get LARGER (Y scan) * The addresses in PNT_DATA.HXA(0) and PNT_DATA.HXA(1) get SMALLER * The addresses in PNT_DATA.HXA(2) and PNT_DATA.HXA(3) get LARGER D. IRU * The X data values gets SMALLER (this is DATA.IRU(0) in the PNT and ADA files) E. TFSS * The Y data values get SMALLER (this is DATA.TFSS(1) in the PNT and ADA files)
