    Top panel: shows the variation of the pointing of the HGA (boresight and -3dB values) on the solar disk which is represented by the yellow band.

    Middle panel: the same information as in panel 1, presented in a different way. The projection of the solar disk on the HGA beam is pictured at several times during the checkout.

    Bottom panel: the time variation of the AGC value for both chains is plotted.
