Req. 5.3.10.2: "LAT GRB Detection"

In any science observation mode, the FSW shall monitor the science data to identify GRBs.

Basis (help)

[1] (3.3.2.1.2)

    1: "Mission System Spec." (NASA 433-SPEC-0001)

      3.3.2.1.2: "GRB Alert Transmission"

      The observatory shall transmit GRB alert messages in all modes of observation.

Test(s)

    012a: Additional Science Processing - GRB detection and location

    This test shall verify the SIU FSW capability to monitor for and detect GRBs in the LAT science data. The test shall involve a variety of simulated observing scenarios, based on Monte Carlo data with signal concentrations in various portions of the FOV. The test shall verify the detection sensitivity and location accuracy requirements for the LAT. The test shall also verify that, when a GRB is detected, the SIU FSW automatically applies a set of looser event filter parameters, allowing more events to be collected for a limited period of time. Finally, this test shall verify the SC notification function and timing requirement.
