(1)*	Both, the TRG module and LTC module each use an internal, free-running 50 MHz crystal oscillator (independent) for their clock counters. The two oscillators are not temperature compensated! Therefore, any change of the room temperature in the North Hall control room causes them to drift. Cooler temperatures usually result in higher frquencies than at warmer temperatures.
(2)*	Absolute TRG clock vs. GPS time measurements cannot be made due to the mentioned temperature-dependent TRG oscillator drifts, as shown in the wave forms of the plots above. The waves are inverse proportional to temperature changes in the North Hall.
(2)*	During this run period, GPS2 had one 12.5-minute satellite synchronization problem, caused by a firmware bug on the Motorola UT-plus Oncore module. During this 12.5-minute section GPS2 data is totally wrong and should not be used (GPS1 is ok, though): 11/06/1999 from 13:51:26 until 14:04:00 (UTC).
