The plot of GPSdiff_max for May 22, 2011 indicates something went haywire with the data collection shows a maximum value of around 25 seconds between 11:05 and 17:00 UTC., indicating something went haywire with the data collection during those times.

Looking at the downloaded data, it It appears that data stopped coming in on the Diamond cards serial ports at 11:05, and resumed at 17:00. The There is not a large gap in data from the 3 sensors that are sampled on the Viper serial ports, but they show large time tag delta-Ts, followed by many small delta-Ts, symptomatic of the system getting behind and having to do major buffering. Perhaps a "storm" of interrupts from the Diamond that finally cleared up? Moisture somewhere?

Data kept coming in on the Viper serial ports (ids=30,100,110, GPS, sonic and licor at 2m), but had time tag issues, apparently because buffers filled up. Here's a snipped snippet of the 2m sonic data in hex, showing a 28 second time tag jump, but no skip in the sonic sequence (byte 9: f8,f9,fa,fb,fc, etc)
