Notes
Detector 9 is SEGMENTED after the 2014 anneal!
- 2014 August 20: Due to sporadic noise in D9, the HV was dropped by 20 counts (now at 3600V). Commanding was at 20:57 UTC. This successfully quieted the noise. The noise was mainly fast counts, which cut drastically into the livetime.
- 2014 October 8: This detector has started to show some periodical spikes during last couple of days. Still is not clear what is their origin. It seems to be periodic with the orbit. So far no action taken.
- 2014 Oct 31: Elevated noise during the period of Oct 31 - Nov 2. The onset, as well as the abatement was sudden. No commanding was done and the noise returned to regular levels.
- On 2014 Jan 8, the rear fast threshold was raised since fast counts were eating up a lot of livetime.
