Data Evaluation

1. Saturation over bright targets in band 1
2. Port 3 fails at approximately record 12170, early in the first high altitude flight line.
3. Port 4 head counts drop on the high altitude flight lines, gradually descending to zero counts.
4. Analog offset in port 3 rises to saturation level of a count of +/- 13000 during the higher altitude flight lines. Count remains constant.
5. ASCOT Navigation data offset by -2:34 from MASTER timecode.
6. Timecode failed on the first flightline (file 1). This is not a data line.
