Subject:
SGP/QCRAD/E4 - UPS failure
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE4.c1, sgpqcrad1longE4.c2, sgpqcrad1longE4.s1, sgpqcrad1longE4.s2
Description:
On Jan 13th approximately 1400GMT the UPS failed at E4. This affected both the global and
tracker mounted instruments. The affected measurements are down_short_hemisp(PSP),
down_short_diffuse(8-48) and direct_normal(NIP) measurements.  The PSP down_short_hemisp
measurement doesn't rely on the tracker but is power ventilated and is adversely affected 
by
daytime solar heating when the ventilator power fails.

Documented in instrument DQR D080212.3
