Subject:
TWP/MMCR/C3 - Receiver switch lock-up
DataStreams:twpmmcrspecmomC3.a0, twpmmcrmomC3.00, twpmmcrmomC3.b1
Description:
During the troubleshooting of another intermittent problem, a receiver switch latched up 
in an open position making the data unusable.
Suggestions: 
Do not use the data during this period.
Measurements:twpmmcrmomC3.00:
