Operations / Software Comments - 06/23/05 TIDE Telecon

Operations:
----------

For some reason, at 13:06 on 05/27/05, TIDE entered default auto-sensitivity.
At the same time, Rice compression was disable.  TIDE remained in default
auto-sensitivity until the next radiation belt pass when optional auto-
sensitivity was commanded at 01:29 on 05/28/05.  Rice compression was enabled
at 16:32 on 06/01/05.

There was a Polar GTM upset on 06/03/05 at 07:54.  Polar was reset at 14:09.
TIDE was reset at 15:09.  Software patches were loaded and the high voltage
ramped on 06/06/05.
 

Software:
---------

In order to make all processing options available on the web, an option was 
added to the velocity distribution custom plots to plot the orbit along with
the velocity distribution plot.  This option along with the contour and
GSM/GSE coordinate plot options are on a test site now available at both
NSSTC and GSFC.  In order to test the new options, go to the velocity
distribution custom plot page and change the URL perl script to
lz_vdp_first_cntr.pl.
