Subject: GEO data quality flags


Hi everyone,

With Martin's help, I've generated a list of GPS seconds that should be 
given the following data quality flags.


Maintenance periods:

The follow periods are times when people entered GEO600's central building 
during the S3 run.

    757032960   757034280
    757183800   757187220
    757236900   757238220
    758022480   758024040

Different SR detuning frequency:

During this period, the signal-recycling detuning frequency was set to 
1.3 kHz instead of the nominal 1.1 kHz.

    757238232   757272726


For a burst (and inspiral) search, one should not analyse periods when the 
maintenance flag has been set because people entering the central station 
can cause "bursty" events to show up in the data.

Do let me know if you have any questions or comments about this list.

Cheers,
Siong
