Subject:
SGP/QCRAD/E4 - Tracker failure
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE4.c1, sgpqcrad1longE4.c2, sgpqcrad1longE4.s1, sgpqcrad1longE4.s2
Description:
On 4/2, the station experienced a power drop after which the tracker was not operational 
until it was reset on 5/1.

The short_direct_normal (NIP instrument) and down_short_diffuse_hemispheric (8-48 
instrument) data were bad during this time.  The down_long_hemispheric (PIR) and 
down_short_hemispheric were unaffected by this failure.  Upwelling instruments were also unaffected.  
Three component DQ checks were not valid during this time.

Documented in instrument DQR D080422.2
