- Transit to 3km - Run Ballast and Trim - Verify the Dvl is logging - Restart logs - Run triangle_control_speed_compare.xml in Engineering This is a long mission that does four laps around a triangle contained within the four pre-existing waypoings BoxWpt*. The entire mission takes about 10 hours. The objective is to determine power versus range for various configurations. A secondary objective is to test control loop behavior and interaction. Each lap has three speeds; 1.0, .75 and .60 m/s. The triangle is shaped so that each leg lasts approximately 40 minutes. Lap1: Mass fixed; Buoyancy fixed; Elevator deadband zeroed. Lap2: Mass fixed; Buoyancy fixed; Elevator deadband 0.5 deg. Lap3: Mass fixed; Buoyancy control on; Elevator deadband zeroed. Lap4: Mass fixed; Buoyancy control on; Elevator deadband 0.5 deg. - At night, keepstation - Time permitting, we'll also run a single-lap version of this with: Lap1: Mass fixed 2mm behind neutral; Buoyancy fixed; Elevator deadband zeroed. Lap2: Elevator and Buoyancy fixed, mass control only. Deadbands zeroed. - Ballast and Trim again to see how much it has changed. 20 June Ballast and trim; buoyancyNeutral = 480cc, massDefault = -.7cm set VerticalControl.stopDepthExcursion to 15m Ran the long mission; worked without a problem except it timed out. 20120620T193111 Ran it again overnight. The vehicle couldn't hold depth on the .6 m/s leg on the last two laps. Contains a Config dir. 20120621T052324 21 June Ballast and trim; buoyancyNeutral = 505cc, massDefault = -.75cm Running t.c.speed_onelap with deadbands zeroed, buoyancy held at 505, mass held at -.80 cm. Objective is to determine induced drag from the elevator and fuselage. 20120621T160251 - Rerun the above but with mass at -.75 (neutral). This should be the lowest drag configuration. We'll see if the drag is different now that the vehicle appears to weigh 25 g more. (Done) 20120621T160251 - restart logs; set StopDepthExcursion to 15 meters, Run a mass control only with elevators locked. (Done). First and second legs failed; mass didn't move forward??. The slow speed leg eventually got down to depth. This dir contains a Config dir. 20120621T224824. - restart logs; Run triangle_control_speed_onelap.xml StopDepthExcursion to 15 meters, Speed1=.90 m/s, Speed2=.85 m/s, and Speed3 = .50 m/s. Buoyancy fixed at 505 (check). Mass fixed. 20120622T014020 - restart logs; Run triangle_control_speed_onelap.xml with the mass at -.85, StopDepthExcursion to 15 meters. Buoyancy and mass fixed.
