Notes on individual channels

Bad channels list updated 2015-11-15.

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

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.
114, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 126, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 141, 147, 148, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156	Channels located in group 5 / cable L. These channels don't show astronomical signal (factor 20 below normal) 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/or cross-talk and are considered bad.
6, 45, 170, 199, 204, 206, 208, 211, 213, 219, 228, 241, 309	Bad channels, not showing any astronomical signal or very low signal levels, unconnected to groups 4, 5, or 7 above.
