NSA/NIMFR/C1 - Serious Alignment/Tracker Problems
DataStreams:nsanimfrC1.a0, nsanimfrC1.b1
Description:
Late in the evening of April 6, Barrow site had a power failure.  When power was restored 
the tracker went to the wrong position and stopped.  The tracker remained in the stopped 
position until April 19 14:00 when operations was restored.

While the Tracker was stopped the NIMFR was pointed some place in space. Head and tube 
temp remained normal.  Detectors were recording no signals or zero sun.
Measurements:nsanimfrC1.a0:
  • Data Logger Supply Voltage(logger_volt)
  • Direct Normal Irradiance, Uncalibrated Silicon Detector, NIMFR(direct_norm_broadband)
  • Detector Temperature(mfr_temp)

NSA/NIMFR - Bit Driver Failure
DataStreams:nsanimfrC1.a0, nsanimfrC1.b1
Description:
In the early morning of July 28, 1999, the bit drivers on the NIMFR
failed. On August 04, 1999, at 23:30 GMT, the NSA local operator replaced the
failed bit drivers with identical SI Tech bit drivers.

NSA/NIMFR/C1 - Bad irradiance data
DataStreams:nsanimfrC1.a0, nsanimfrC1.b1
Description:
The NIMFR at the NSA site failed on 99/10/08 due to a faulty connector.  
The head temperature and board voltage are OK, but all irradiance data is 
bad.  The connector was cleaned on 99/11/01 and the irradiance data started 
flowing again.
Measurements:nsanimfrC1.a0:
  • Direct Normal Irradiance, Uncalibrated Silicon Detector, NIMFR(direct_norm_broadband)
  • Direct Normal Irradiance, NIMFR(direct_norm_narrowband)

nsanimfrC1.b1:
  • Direct Normal Irradiance, Uncalibrated Silicon Detector, NIMFR(direct_norm_broadband)
