Test(s)

008a: Event Filtering - Reception of Events and Verification of Filtering Algorithm

This test shall confirm that fully assembled, properly formatted events are received directly into EPU memory, where they can be processed by EPU FSW. This test shall also verify that the on-board filtering algorithms running on the EPU(s) achieve the purity/efficiency ratios predicted by Monte Carlo. The test shall include running a specific set of scenarios derived from Monte Carlo simulations with known, expected results. The filtering algorithms must provide acceptable results for each scenario in order to pass this test.
