(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.
(3)*	GPS2 had four 12.5-minute satellite synchronization problems during this run period, caused by a firmware bug on the Motorola UT-plus Oncore module. During these 12.5-minute sections, GPS2 data is totally wrong and should not be used (GPS1 is ok, though): 05/17/2000 from 01:53:57 until 02:06:29 (UTC), 05/19/2000 from 13:03:57 until 13:16:26 (UTC), 05/31/2000 from 04:48:56 until 05:01:28 (UTC), 06/06/2000 from 19:51:16 until 20:03:57 (UTC).
