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 usually don't show any astronomical signal and are considered bad. |
| 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 don't show astronomical signal and are considered bad. |
| 6, 45, 114, 133, 199, 204, 206, 208, 211, 213, 219, 228, 309 | Bad channels, not showing any astronomical signal or very low signal levels, unconnected to groups 4 or 7 above. |
| 65, 77, 246, 257, 314 | These channels are variable and usually usable. Check your data. |
| 241 | No proper signal. Picks up signal from channels 248 (strong) and 296 (weak). |
