XRT Cadence Estimates

(Extracted from Yoshifumi Shimizu's presentation at SOT17 @ NAOJ, 17-April-2006).

The total data rate of 400 kbps (about 15 downlink/day) is assumed. SOT, XRT, and EIS usually share this data rate in the ratio of 70%, 15%, and 15%. XRT image data is 12 bit/pixel and may be compressed to about 6 bit/pixel by DPCM.

Typical data rate for XRT ~ 600 k pixel per minute.
