Full-spectrum PPD data during observation:

Actual full-spectrum PPD data taken from each tile every 64 seconds during the observation. Make sure that power levels sit in the green region between 1 and 15 ADU over the frequencies used in this observation (yellow bar), to avoid saturation or undersampling.
