Normal spectral data has an 8 byte record header with each dump of the spectrometer. ... All of the bytes output with timedomain sampling are sampled data.T . ... Idl was used to read in and plot the data. ... Idl skipped the last 8 bytes of each block thinking it was the record header. This is the missing data sample. psrv.c, part of the online data taking program was byteswapping the last 8 bytes of each block (depending on the recorded datatype (8, 4 bits no swapping, 16 bits was swapped). ...

... The Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of "hibernation". Yesterday, on the first day of autumn, new sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun following an absence of almost 50 days. ... The first low lasted 51 days, from 21 July until 11 September last year. ... Now, almost a year later, it seems the Sun has hit a new low almost as "deep" as the first. ...
