DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
Data Set Overview : The Thermal Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) is designed to analyze ~50 mg of fine grained Martian soil or rock fragments. TEGA consists of four basic components: a soil delivery system, an oven/calorimeter thermal analyzer (TA), a gas storage and handling system, and a mass spectrometer acting as an evolved-gas analyzer (EGA). A full description of the TEGA instrument can be found in [BOYNTONETAL2008]. The data set PHX MARS THERMAL EVOLVED GAS ANALYZER 1 EDR is a time series collection of TA, EGA, engineering, and commanding measurements from the TEGA aboard the Mars Phoenix Lander. Data types included in this data set are engineering data, calorimeter data from the TA,sweep mode EGA data, mass hopping mode EGA data, LED oven fill data, and instrument message log data. Data are sorted by time, with each data file containing one measurement day's worth of data from midnight to midnight UTC. TEGA is designed to analyze 8 individual samples, one sample in each of the eight single use ovens. The EGA portion of the instrument will not only analyze the gases evolved from the samples heated in the ovens, but will also analyzed samples of the Martian atmosphere. TEGA is expected to operate for 45 days. During operations the science, engineering and housekeeping data are downloaded from the spacecraft by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) into the Telemetry Data System(TDS). The TDS sends data to a process that translates data packets and examines instrument health via messages. Data are output to a spooler that passes them to the University of Arizona (UA) database ingest process. The ingest process inputs raw data into the UA database. Data are retrieved from the UA database to build the TEGA EDR data products. The TEGA EDR data set is intended to be the lowest level (level 0) data available for TEGA. It should be useful to those scientists who are experienced in calorimetry and mass spectrometry. Parameters : The TEGA EDR data set is composed of three main data types and three supporting data types. The objective of compiling the TEGA EDR is to create a record of the primary data collected by TEGA. The following paragraphs discuss the parameters of interest in each of the data types. SC DATA ----- The SC data are time series records taken over the course of a measurement day. Data files are labeled with the date. Individual records are a single data collection interval. SC data are the science data produced by the TA. EGA DATA -------- The EGA data are time series records taken over the course of a measurement day. Data files are labeled with the date. Individual records are a single data collection interval. EGA data are the science data produced by the EGA mass spectrometer in sweep mode. EGH DATA -------- The EGH data are time series records taken over the course of a measurement day. Data files are labeled with the date. Individual records are a single data collection interval. EGH data are the science data produced by the EGA mass spectrometer in mass hopping mode. The Engineering, LED fill and Message Log, data sets provide supporting information. Engineering Data ---------------- The Engineering data are time series records for each engineering parameter taken over the course of a measurement day. Data files are grouped in the ENG folder and are labeled with the engineering parameter name. Individual records are a single data collection interval that is variable in duration. Engineering values are reported by parameter name and include collection time, and DN value. Engineering values are specific monitor values recorded by TEGA. Message Log ----------- The Message Log data are time series records taken over the course of a day. Data files are labeled with the date. Individual records are a single data collection interval. The Message Log data are messages returned from TEGA. LED --- LED data are time series records taken over the course of a measurement day. Data files are labeled with the date. Individual records are a single data collection interval, which is variable in duration. The LED data are the data collected by the oven fill sensors, and indicate when an oven is full of sample material. Processing : TEGA data (both science and engineering) are downloaded from the Phoenix Mars Lander by JPL into the Telemetry Data System (TDS). The TDS sends the data to a process called TEGA_tl, that translates GRS packets from any source to any destination and examines instrument health via messages. The data are checked for packet types, header information, messages, or errors. Data are output to a spooler, which passes data to the UA database ingestion process. The ingestion process inputs raw telemetry data into the database. A function reads the data header to get the total number of bytes in the packet, and the sequence bytes. The rest of the packet is then read. The data type, read from the common header, is returned, determining the next step in the processing. One of a number of different procedures is run to insert packet data into the appropriate database tables. If the data type returned is less than or equal to 0 an error message is returned stating that the packet was not inserted. Once all data packets for a measurement day are ingested into the database, the EDR data products are created by reformatting the raw data in accordance with the data formats specified by the product labels. Data : The TEGA EDR data set is composed of a series of date stamped files that contain 1 day's worth (24 hours, 00:00:00 UTC to 23:59:59 UTC) of data for 6 different data types. The following sections describe each data type. SC DATA ------- SC data are composed of raw scanning calorimeter data. These data include start and end time of collection, oven and shield power, and associated current, potential, and pulse data. EGA DATA -------- EGA mass spectrometer data is composed of start and stop times of the collection, scan type, voltage, emission energy and counts at each of four collectors. EGH DATA -------- EGH data are mass hopping mode EGA data. These data include start and stop times for the collection, voltage, emission energy and level, and counts at the detector. Engineering Data ---------------- Engineering data are composed of the 85 different engineering readings monitored in TEGA. The engineering readings can be taken at several different time intervals. The following is a list of all the engineering readings and a description of each.
