Abstract

Final system testing, performance characterization and documentation of the Digital Ion Drift Meter (DIDM-2) instrument were carried out in the period immediately prior to delivery, which transpired under Task #1 of this contract. Some details of these activities are provided. Also, a summary of the activities performed under Task #2, with regard to the SPREE and OEDIPUS-C data sets, is also presented. The work was terminated in this report period. The principal focus of this report however, is to document the operation and functionality of DIDM-2. The material is excerpted from the instrument's Handbook of Commands, Functions & Operations manual.
