Data Evaluation

MASTER engineering subsystems not operational.
Port 1 misaligned. Diffraction grading screws loose. Data and noise values not valid.
Port 3 failed on the last long flight-line over Lake Mead. This was the highest altitude flight line. BB, video and head counts are all flat. Analog offset for the port 3 bands are flat.
Port 4 head counts go to zero intermittently.
Coherent noise in port 4 bands. Cycle is dependent upon scan speed.
Port 3 noise levels are elevated.
Offset in time between navigation data and MASTER time is +2:40.
