2. Agenda Component Overview Data Viewing Development Status Anomaly Reporting and Tracking Test Setups

3. Component Overview The main components of the MAVEN GSE are: MAVEN Instrument Simulator GSE (MISG) PFDPU/Instrument simulator Ground Support Equipment Operating System (GSEOS) Telemetry and Command Control Spacecraft Simulator GSE (SSG) Additional Test Equipment (Power Supplies, Manipulator, Ion Gun, etc.)

4. Component Overview - MISG MAVEN Instrument Simulator GSE (MISG) ZestET1 off-the-shelf module High-speed Ethernet (TCP/IP Offload) engine (TOE) Configurable (Xilinx) FPGA Instrument/PFDPU interfaces, along with the data flow and control are implemented in the FPGA, which interacts with the TOE to transfer data to/from the Host Computer Base (Interface) Board connects to the Zest-ET1 FPGA Provides buffers and connectors that match the MAVEN-PFDPU flight configuration Houses the Actuator Control circuitry, controlled and monitored by the Zest-ET1 FPGA Whenever possible, the MISG uses the actual flight design, assuring that the simulated interfaces match the flight hardware (The interface between the PFDPU and Instruments is a clocked serial bit-stream) Communicates with GSEOS via TCP/IP

5. Component Overview - MISG MAVEN Instrument Simulator GSE (MISG) PFDPU test interface for instrument bench level testing Sends commands to and receives telemetry from the Instrument under test Provides an independent but synchronous “high-speed” (8.34 or 16.78 MHz) clock for those instruments that require it and a power-supply synch signal Instrument test interface for PFDPU testing MISG receives commands from and sends telemetry to the PFDPU under test Simulated instruments include SEP, SWEA, SWIA, STATIC , MAG (1 and 2), and LPW instruments MISG telemetry production is impartial with respect to the instruments; each of the nine units simulated is personalized via its loaded pattern and operates synchronously to its own dedicated clock supplied by the PFDPU. (In practice, these clocks are 1.048MHz, derived from the PFDPU Master clock.)
