SSFS boost

Today the ITF unlocked every time the SSFS boost was activated, except for one trial. Around the gps 1221332726 the ITF survived to the boost activation (fig. 1), then it unlocked after a few seconds due to different reasons; in the meanwhile, SSFS was behaving normally. Maybe some good adjustment was performed in that trial, but there is the possibility that the lock survived by chance. Locking at the error signal, one can notice that it was exactly crossing zero when the boost was activated (fig. 2). The activation of the boost on MC side happened when the error signal was already stabilized around zero (fig. 3).

Going back to the old successful lock acquisitions, one can see that the last one had the same lucky characteristic (fig 4). The previous ones look to me quite different in the way of activating the boost: sometimes I see a much longer ramp in the switch, sometimes the ramp is short but it seems that on SSFS side the boost is engaged well before the switch changes value.

Hopefully the magic adjustment will be applied again and the problem will disappear. If not, there is the possibility that the problem comes from the ramp.

According the Paolo entry, the trouble may come from the ramp used to perform the transition from the standard filter to the boost filter .

I put back the ramp of 10ms with a sine form ,

Then I reduce the transition time to 5ms

 

The ramp was reduced and set to zero due to somes troubles observed and to some lack of knowledge .

According  Paolo, the ramp is used to perform the switch between the 2 filters on the Sc_MC DSP too. As there is a delay between the SSFS rtpc and the Sc_MC DSP of 200us or 300us (2 or 3 10KHz cycles)  the ramp must be slow compared to the  delay.

According Paolo it could be useful to have the starting to the boost transition only when the error signal is close to zero
