Notes on individual channels

Note: Channels which are terminated with a resistor are not listed in the following table anymore.

Channel #	Description
101, 103, 106, 110	Strong cross-talk: 101↔106 and 103↔110. 101 and 103 may be usable for point sources only.
81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 136, 159, 160	Channels located in group 4 / cable M. These channels show either cross-talk (varying level) with channel 136, or don't show anything. We consider them as bad. Channels 82, 83, 85, 86, and 136 are bad in any case. Note that some variability is observed for these channels. Check your data to verify if they are usable.
177, 179, 180, 182, 183, 184, 185, 191, 192, 201, 202, 203, 205, 207, 217, 218, 220	Channels located in group 7 / cable A. These channels mostly don't show astronomical signal and are considered bad.
6, 114, 204, 208, 213, 228, 246, 257, 309	Bad channels, not showing any astronomical signal or very low signal levels, unconnected to groups 4 or 7 above. The channels 204, 246, and 257 are variable and may be usable.
241	No proper signal. Picks up signal from channels 248 (strong) and 296 (weak).
