Vaira Gill sonic plots screen before downloading data
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. Check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. YES!
  3. Check MD-9 system connections YES!
  4. Check CR23X with two multiplexers

I click rain gage several times to test whether it is functioning.
