Observing with EIS with the new antenna#
Practical constraints?#

OP Periods
Volume#
Since moving to Hinode's S-band antenna for downlinks, the spacecraft typically can downlink something like 200

Do you have examples of what kind of observations are best suited for EIS?#
Yes :-)
Why can my old HOP no longer be run?#
How is the HOP process different?#
Go over to the Study4LowDataVolume page on this Wiki for examples of programmes recently developed for EIS.
