Instrument configurations


There are number of UVI Instrument Configuration (IC) modes defined for different types of science observations or analyses. These configuration modes are basically an ordered sequence of filter selections. When they are combined with Gain and Loop counters, they can be used to define the UVI Observation Sequence. The following table lists the Instrument Configuration modes defined:

The following abbreviations are used in the table:
 04  1304 Filter
 56  1356 Filter
 LS  LBH Short
 LL  LBH Long
 SO  Solar Filter
 S  Shutter (Background)
 H  Home (Background)
 DB  Dynamic Balancing
 NM  Normal Mode
 FM  Fast Mode

(NOTE: The Instrument Configuration number (IC) may be used in the UVI query database where -X in the IC number is the gain setting )
