Mike collected background and dark scans (where "dark" is a SOLIS "signal" scan with the lights out, and the SOLIS "background" does not fire the shutter...) at 0.1 to 60 sec exposure time to look for any possible sine-wave noise. These data are a repeat for the day 4 darks but with the Gain set to 2 (what is used in MOBY261 data) and not Gain 4 as in th day 4 data.

The idea where was to see if the noise we are seeing on the MOBY261 in-water darks is from the MOBY power system. We already checked the program to see if it cause the problem and it looked good. So this the the check of the MOBY power system but this time with Gain 2. /
