Abstract

The report covers, from both design and operational standpoints, all ground test equipment provided by APL in conjunction with the TIROS Solar Proton Monitor (SPM) subsystem. This equipment consists of a Digital Decoder, A Test Suitcase, and an Auxiliary Test Unit. Complete checkout of an SPM package can be performed by means of this test equipment, either with the SPM operating independently of the spacecraft or in situ. All data from such testing is available immediately. Included in the report are complete test procedures and sample data sheets. (Author)
