Description
Each dump action must be followed by an XPOC which
is launched automatically and is designed to verify that
the dump was correctly executed. If an anomaly is
discovered during these tests, the XPOC must withhold
the User Permit to the BIS (via a software channel). The
XPOC comprises beam instrumentation and other
signals which will come from the logging and Post-
Mortem system, or direct from the equipment.
The XPOC must be triggered by the dump action, must
retrieve and analyse key data and make a comparison
of the relevant parameters against specified reference
values, and then give or withhold the User Permit
according to the result. The requirements in terms of
functionality, response times and scope are described,
and the equipment subsystems identified. Data types,
reduction, volumes and rates are estimated.
