Operations / Software Comments - 11/03/05 TIDE Telecon

Operations:
----------

There is a spacecraft attitude adjustment scheduled for 11/16/05.
TIDE's high voltage will be turned off at 14:45 and ramped on 11/21.

There was a Polar spacecraft GTM upset on 09/12/05 at 16:28.  Polar
was reset at 18:57 and TIDE was reset at 19:24.  TIDE's software
patches were loaded and high voltage ramped on 09/15/05 from
16:44-17:56.

Reminder:  By default, the custom plots include a Stops long-term
calibration correction.  This correction does not apply to data
collected after 10/21/04, when the Stops MCP voltage was changed from
-1600 to -1800 V.  Data after that date need to be processed without
the correction.

Reminder:  The new thumbnail summary plot viewer is now available.

Work continued correcting the way the error bars are calculated for
the psd versus velocity plots when the data is spin averaged.

Work started adding an option to the spectrogram plots to change
(lower) the color saturation to reflect the error in the data.
