The Ion Composition Analyzer (ICA) is a part of the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) which is on board the Rosetta space probe heading for the comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It is scheduled to reach the comet in year 2014. In order to reduce telemetry the ICA instrument has a number of data reduction modes (sampling modes). The effects of these different modes are investigated and a plan on how to best operate the instrument when in orbit around the comet will be prepared. In order to investigate all of the cases a virtual instrument is being prepared. The virtual instrument can be operated in different modes just as the ``real'' one. The work with sampling will be to calculate what particles are coming from each direction we are looking in, based on the ISSI Comet Model, and then see how much information we loose by too sparse sampling and incomplete spatial coverage.
