Solar Activity

Solar activity was moderate this week with only some very small M flares. The background flux is at ~B9 level. There are currently 5 active regions on disk, none more complex than Beta. STEREO B shows nothing too exciting can be expected for the next few days, although some larger regions might rotate onto the disk by the end of the week, if they haven't decayed by then.

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      8    37     3     0

And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      2    15     1     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      1    12     1     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 84 / 48 over the time range 05-Sep-12 12-Sep-12

Memory Management

Detector issues

G8 is showing a very slow decay in emerging from night, especially in the livetime: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth1+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfl+monfr+monff&date=20120908&time=020603

Other notes

Changed the settings for High volt shutoff from 115 K - 125 K. Changed temperature paging limits: yellow 110 K red 120 K
