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. 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)
