ACTIVITY TITLE: Thermal Verification ID: TCS-01 APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS: L.10.4.13.1 DESCRIPTION: The determination of the impact of NOBL installation is expected to be ongoing for Bays 5, 7 and 8, likely through and past the SMOV period. ... Bays 5 and 8 are expected to have greater impact following successful installation of the NOBL-ER. Since the changes are not expected to have critical impacts, no specific thermal verification is really warranted for the SMOV period. ...

... These are ``quirks'' rather than ``bugs''. Below is a list of quirks. When loading a file and ``Reset Intensity Upon File Load'' is disabled, the intensity range of the previous image will be used. ... When moving between two images (such as when blinking, or when loading a new image), the display system attempts to retain the old image parameters (i.e. zoom box). What is retained are the corners of the zoom box measured in image pixel co-ordinates, not world co-ordinates. ...
