MAG TEAM REVIEW:

This MGS MAG/ER status report covers the period: 
25 April - 1 May, 1999 (DOY's 115-121)

MAG/ER instrument temperatures, currents, and voltages are within nominal
ranges.

A gif plot of the instrument parameters for the week is located at:
http://blaze.gsfc.nasa.gov/dsr/sr99115-121.gif

The plotted quantities are:
MCP_V-->micro-channel plate voltage
A_MA--> controller current

A_TEMP-->controller temperature
ER_TEMP-->ER temperature
IB_TEMP-->inboard temperature
OB_TEMP-->outboard temperature

The MAG/ER instrument was turned on at 2016 UTC, 29 April 99.

The MAG and ER turn-on command blocks as well as the usual ER memory load
software patch, ER HV sweep reduction, and ER MCP calibration commands
were sent via an LMA pre-built sequence. The DSN did not obtain downlink
until after the diagnostic data had already been lost. The ER team will
examine the data returned and try to determine whether anything more than
the usual patch enable command is needed to return the ER to its pre-
contingency state. The MAG is fully operational.
