After collecting darks and backgrounds on the MOBY261 buoy we are seeing some odd features and so Art took some data using the RS03 he has in Hawaii using the same automated procedures as on the buoy and with the same wait times. To see if the features still exist. Below are the graphs and a subset of ARts email. I have renamed the files to my naming convention and I had to add a 1 to Arts filenumbers. Two int times where used and Art followed my messed up dark and background filenaming convention.

 Details from Arts email-------------------------------
B = "background" = light shutter (opens/closes) but towel over the fibers.
This is an attempt to simulate the external shutters closed.
Note: I can see some tracks in the longer exposed versions of these
so maybe my towel was not such a great external shutter simulator...
 
D = "dark" = shutter stays closed during exposure. 
 
#0-4 = exposure time = 1.5 sec 
#5-9 = exposure time = 0.1 sec 
 
for all: 
VSS = 4.250 us 
HSS = 3.000 MHz 
PAG = 2x 
Cooling stable at -40C 
which are the same settings as days 7/8 from the other system. 

Track 7 all the dark files, two int times.
