Data Evalutation
Early in flight there are pressure blowoffs, which result in voltage transients. This situation stabilized later in the flight. Radio noise and brush noise (200 Htz noise) noted midflight. The analog offset of channel 48 is fixed at 1024. Significant horizontal banding in upper port 4 channels.
