3.3.5) The PIA AAP Window

The PIA AAP Window serves to visualize and control the AAP level, including some corrections. It can be reached via the button "Plot and Reduce Data" in the menu of the PIA Measurement Buffer Control Panel. Note that this window is not displayed automatically when processing data from the PIA SPD Data Display Window, but when processing data from the SCP label. The maximum number of opened AAP Windows is restricted to two. Both open at the same time when processing PHT-S data from SCP to AAP, containing the data corresponding to the 64 short wavelength detectors on one and data corresponding to the 64 long wavelength detectors on the other.

This chapter describes the PIA AAP Data Display window and sub-windows directly associated.

Basically, the AAP window (Figure 1) is divided into three rows:

Remark on Upper and Middle Row:

Since the upper row and the middle row are very similar to those of the ERD Window, the user is referred to the ERD description with the following differences for the middle row:

Pixels Choice

This menu bar is active only for C100, C200 and PHT-S data where several pixels are to be analyzed. It calls a submenu with the following options:
  • Individual Choice: This calls the PIA Display Choice window. For each display window the user can specify the pixel number whose signal will be plotted. After the selection the window will be restored with the plots for the new pixels chosen.
  • Serial Increment: This selects the next subsequent pixel to each of those shown. When pressing this button, the signal corresponding to pixel N+1 will be plotted in each window containing pixel N.
  • N Plots

    This button allows the number N of plot windows shown in the middle row of the SCP window to be selected. After a selection the window will immediately be restored, containing N plots. Please note that this number will also be used for further main level windows.

    HK

    This button calls a submenu for accessing the Housekeeping Menu to display the Housekeeping data associated to this measurement, as contained in the corresponding GEHK FITS product.
