| | Seeking maximum counts by adjusting TX plate offset | 408 | | |
| | in order to start the test - plate in new postion and propper | | | |
| | plate offset needs to be found. | | | |
| L20040330_000 | 01:06:39 | TX plate offset chnaged from 67deg to 62deg (10 deg pol rot) | 432 | 0 | EG |

| | TX offset at 50 deg, lovering chopper altitude at the same | | | |

| L20040330_000 | 02:16:43 | Plates now at RX 52deg TX 55deg | 114 | 0 | EG |
| | OOPS! TX plate direction needs to change exiting program | 118 | | |
| | to reverse the TX plate flag | | | |
| L20040330_001 | 02:30:59 | Back to the startign point with plates as orthagonal as possible | 27 | 0 | EG |
| L20040330_001 | 02:31:36 | Advancing plates in sync by 5 deg => RX=52 and TX=45 | 27 | 0 | EG |
| L20040330_001 | 02:35:46 | With the plates like this the extinction ratio has worsened | 107 | 0 | EG |
| L20040330_001 | 02:37:10 | Before continuing I have to make sure that this is not | 108 | 0 | EG |
| | due to bad movement of the plates | | | |
| L20040330_001 | 02:37:13 | Going to the TX room to tweek the TX plate manually | 112 | 0 | EG |
| | to see if it's possible to push the extinction further down | | | |
| L20040330_001 | 02:42:46 | After tweeking I found the plate to be allready at minimum | 100 | 0 | EG |
| | The motors are tracking as they should. | | | |

| L20040330_001 | 02:49:35 | extinction ratio keeps worsening - | 205 | 0 | EG |
| | I can see clouds comming in - I need to know if I can | | | |
| | compensate by tilting the plate - if that is the case then | | | |
| | the source is still at the transmitter side. | | | |
