Radio Modem Telemetry [Image]

Here are the plots and engineering data files relating to the Microrover Telecom Subsystem as measured by the Microrover and the Pathfinder Lander


NOTE: As of Wednesday November 5, 1997 the Mars Pathfinder mission has entered the "contingency phase". We will attempt to communicate with the lander every two weeks for the near future. Only if lander communications is restored can we begin to plan for further microrover operations. The data and plots in this page will be updated and posted as originally intended. Please keep checking for new entries.

The first few series of data sets are from PORT (Project Operations Readiness Training) and cruise health checks. During the mission each day the plots will show the actual data measured. The majority of these data plots are a function of time, and the time unit is in MLST (Mars Local Standard Time) for the Martian Sols. For instance the first mission day is Sol1, the second mission day is Sol2 and so on. Sometimes a plot will cover 2 Sols. Note that the time axis is *NOT* evenly spaced. There are also some plots with one telemetry value plotted against another, like radio current vs. temperature. And sometime soon we will have 3D plots of link quality with respect to rover X and Y coordinates. These plots will not include the entire area traversed by the rover, but rather selected areas where long traverses took place. The data files are comma separated value (CSV) text format. These files will include daily and entire accumulated values. Look below for tools you can use for reducing and plotting the data. Sorry, but we will not have any data or plots of mobility, navigation, kinematics, rover power subsystem telemetry or rover science data.
Some Comments on Link Quality:

The quality of the telecommunication link between the rover and the lander is the best measure of how effective the link is. Of course the link quality is sensitive to modem temperature, BER, data volume and rover location. The Rover link quality is a measure of how well it is getting acknowledgment of good frames by the lander (LMRE) side of the link. Rover link quality is the ratio of the change in the number of the RX frame counts to the change in the number of the TX frame counts from one measurement to the next. Mathematically Rover link quality= 100*(delta RX / delta TX). If the link is degraded, the rover will get a number of NAK's (No Acknowledges) or other comm errors from the lander and the TX count will increase. Also, if the LMRE radio was off or not responding, the rover would increase the TX frame counter because it would be constantly receiving timeout errors. When a data frame does get ACK'ed (Acknowledged) by the lander as being received, the RX frame count will increase by 2.

LMRE link quality is a measure of how well the lander is receiving data from the Rover. A frame with garbled data, like a bad CRC count, will be recorded by the lander. Also, a good (or complete) frame that was received by the lander will also be recorded. The LMRE link performance is a slightly better estimate of the overall UHF link quality than the Rover link quality performance because, in theory, it keeps a better count of good versus bad data frames (it doesn't count the 6 Byte ACK frames). The way the rover-lander protocols work (see Rover Telecom FAQ#5) the RX frame counter gets incremented when a 6 byte ACK frame and 256 Byte (or less) data frame get sent, while the TX frame count gets incremented whenever the Rover sends any type of frame to the Lander *AND* if any comm errors occur. The RX frame counter can never increase at a rate higher than the TX frame counter, so a 100% Rover link performance is achieved if the TX and RX frame counters increase at the same rate. One thing is certain however, when the link is degraded for any reason both the Rover and Lander link quality numbers do show it.

    DATA REDUCTION TOOL(S) --

    Here are some tools that have been developed to help speed up the reduction and analysis of the rover telecom engineering telemetry files. Download the file(s) you want to use.
  • formatcsv.xls - MS Excel macro files for reducing the rover telecom CSV files and calculating telecom statistics. Save as an .xls file. Updated 7/13/97

    Once you have downloaded the CSV data reduction Excel macro and have used it to clean up the unformated CSV data file you will see a list of data columns. Below we give an internal description of the data in those columns. The first value, e.g. R-xxxx, is the telemetry channel ID number, that is followed by the telemetry channel name and then a description of what it measures. To use the macro, first open the macro file and then open the *.csv file you want to look at. Go to the Tools menu and click on the Macro... field. Run the formatcsv1.xls!CSV_FORMAT macro and answer Yes or No to the dialog questions. Note that if you try to clean up the *.csv file more than once, it will corrupt the file and the statistics. If you have trouble downloading or using the tool, please let us know.
