NIM/MWRP/M1 - Reprocessed: NEW CALIBRATION COEFFICIENTS
DataStreams:nimmwrpM1.00
Description:
The MWRP was calibrated for the first time on Feb 08 2006 at 07:21.  Data from Jan 9 to 
Feb 8 were recalibrated using a corrected configuration file with new calibration 
coefficients provided by the mentor.

The data from 20051123-20060108 were not reprocessed.  The original processed data were 
removed from the Archive holdings.  The original raw data remain available for a future 
reprocessing effort.
Measurements:nimmwrpM1.00:
  • Raw data stream - documentation not supported(raw)

Subject:
NIM/MWRP/M1 - Software problem
DataStreams:nimmwrpM1.00, nimmwrpM1.b1, nimmwrprawM1.00
Description:
The MWRP computer failed and it was cloned with a new Gx620. Soon after, the MWRP program 
started to crash and was intermittent. Data were lost on March 3, 4, 5. 
On March 7 the program was forcefully ended and restarted. This appears to have cleared 
the problem. The instrument has been running since.
