The above diagrams represent the P/E, RNG, and PEN logic after the end of the "P1 singles" mode. The equations for P/E, RNG, and PEN events are:
Event type |
Coincidence equation |
P, E |
P1.P2.P4* |
RNG |
P1.P2.P4.AL* |
PEN |
P1.P2.P8 |
The buffers into which "orderly" events can fall are as follows:
Range |
No guards triggered |
Low, not high guard triggered |
High guard triggered |
P1 |
NONE |
NONE |
NONE |
P1 through P2 |
P/E |
P/E |
P/E |
P1 through P3 |
P, E |
P/E |
P/E |
P1 through P4, P5, P6, or P7 |
RNG |
NONE |
NONE |
P1 through P8 |
RNG, PEN |
PEN |
PEN |
This is the command state that PET was in through most of the mission. It is similar to the mode before the "P1 singles" period, except that the AH* term has been removed from the P and E equations.
