Bolometer/Readout Development • QM blue focal plane array mounted at LETI • The working arrays showed a very large responsivity (good!) • The working arrays show very large noise and very slow response of the clocks, due to high contact resistance (~MΩ) at the 2K Buffer Unit level (known error in QM buffer run causing poor indium bumps hybridization) • A new blue focal plane is being mounted with FM Buffer Unit to be used in the CQM • More from L. Rodriguez et al. Blue Focal Plane PACS Instrument Overview

Warm Electronics: AVM Instrument Level Tests PACS Instrument Overview
Status of AVM Tests (1) • CDMS simulator upgrade to V2.4 • Has solved some counter overrun problem and the time bug (now we have correct TAI) • Burst mode for PACS implemented • DPU OBSW: several updates • Mainly for 1355 link loss investigation • But solving only the other known problems (EEPROM, jump to application software) • Bug found in DPU ISR routine (by comparison with DECMEC) • New problem with 1553 interface discovered. HW? SW?DPU problems not solved in >1 year – start of ILT at risk! • DECMEC OBSW is pretty stable PACS Instrument Overview
Status of AVM Tests (2) • AVM SPU • Identified HW problemfixed • A small problem related to the SPU-DMC 1355 link initial self-test has been found, but apparently this is inherent to the SMCS chip. Either the SPU_SUSW and/or the user manual need to be updated. • SPU HLSW upgraded to version 6.0 • It contains some performance improvements both with respect to CPU work load and compression ratio • Parallel mode will require small update • Goal for CQM is to develop, in parallel, an improved strategy (noise estimate from averaged ramp per pixel) and test it • Down-link of “near-raw” data to allow ramp modeling / glitch removal on ground • CPU load down presently still too high, optimisation in progress PACS Instrument Overview
SPU Ground Simulator Ground simulation of SPU code useful for several reasons: • Use PACS “raw data” transmission mode to redo, on ground, the same operations as performed by the on-board S/W • Dispose of a test bed to try out new compression algorithms before they are up-linked and used by on-board S/W • Subject PACS simulator data to same artifacts, i.e. compression and reduction, as on-board obtaineddata • New version of on-board SPU has been “grounded” in less than five minutes work PACS Instrument Overview
