The laser experiment came through the last full duration test completely solid. On the test prior I used a low battery. Around data sample 200,000 very weird data started to appear. Unless the sensor power system was putting out the energy of Hover Dam something was very wrong. It turns out that when analog to digital converter (this connects the sensors to the computer) starts loosing power it doesn’t die, it just outputs bad data. I cost four hours of testing time but it is very good to know.
With all the troubleshooting Saturday we didn’t get a chance to do the full duration test on the seven flight cameras. That’s today’s task.
