SGP/QCRAD/E27 - Tracker failure
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE27.c2, sgpqcrad1longE27.s2, sgpqcrad1longE27.c1, sgpqcrad1longE27.s1
Description:
Possible main power problem made may have caused the tracker to fail.  Attempts to restart 
the old tracker, subsequent replacement and lack of spares contributed to incorrect data 
from the NIP (short_direct_normal datastream) and 8-48 (down_short_diffuse_hemisp 
datastream) until the time of site decommissioning.  

This facility was decommissioned and maintenance efforts ceased 10/1/2009. The instrument 
was removed from service 12/04/2009.

Documented in instrument DQR D090609.1
Suggestions: 
Don't use SW direct or diffuse data during these time periods. If 

"source_BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp" is 0, don't use Best Estimate GSW data. Note that fewer quality 
checks can be applied accurately to the BestEstimate data.
