Data Evaluation

No engineering subsystems operational.
Port 3 with line to line and moderate static noise, Port 4 OK with some minor line to line in bands 41, 49-50 (similar to 400 Htz noise in MAS).
Aircraft rpm was changed numerous times during certain flightlines. Rpm changes were 1700-1400-2000-1800-1700.
On flightlines with the scanner door closed some minor line to line noise was evident (similar to 400 Htz noise in MAS) in ports 3 and 4, but noise signal does not appear to change through file as rpms are presumably changed. However, amount of static based on its apparent brightness does increase with line number through the file.
BB1 ambient, BB2 at 35. Outbound data climbing, rising terrain. Preamp power unplugged.
Approximately records 18000-26000 analog offset goes to 1024, video seems unaffected. Head1 and Head2 counts spike in the same record range.
