Subject:
TWP/SKYRAD/C2 - Solar tracker failure
DataStreams:twpskyrad60sC2.b1, twpskyrad60sC2.a1, twpskyrad20sC2.a1
Description:
The solar tracker malfunctioned and did not track the sun reliably during the specified 
periods.  PIR, PSP, and NIP data are suspect.

The solar tracker may have operated satisfactorily during some periods within these time 
frames. Approximate verification on quality could be made by comparing the NIP data with 
the MFRSR data.
