An Instrument Design Lab (IDL) session is typically scheduled for one five-day week and is tailored to meet the customer's study needs. During the week the Discipline Engineering Team (DET) prepares material that addresses the requirements, baseline design, alternative designs & trade studies, functional diagrams, interfaces, detailed estimates of mass, power, and data rate, technical risk assessment, issues/concerns, recommendations, models, parametric/grassroots costs, and background information.
