The water channel of IRGA didn?t work!!
Tower Gill sonic plots screen before downloading data
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. swap IRGA: remove #65, install #418
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  4. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  5. Is the pump of CO2 profile system running‌

YES. But the reading was frozen at ?-9999?. Brought it back to the lack. I broke the thermal couple. Disconnected the pump.
