To reduce the effect of electronic crosstalk signals in Window channel measurements induced by high Shortwave (bright) scenes, a bridge balance memory patch was developed. This patch was intended to modify the Window bridge balance set point to midrange (2048). The first test of this patch was performed on-orbit during the period shown below.
The memory patch that was uploaded inadvertently set the bridge balance set points to midrange (2048) for all 3 channels. This reduced the dynamic range for the Total and Shortwave channels leading to saturated radiometric measurements. Saturations typically occurred for the brightest earth-viewing scenes, resulting in data dropout at high radiance values. See the data quality summaries pertaining to the science data during this period.
