About the above plots:  (see CLF hardware configuration for reference)
These plots are intended to show the behavior of the CLF laser over a night of operations. Each point represents an average of 50 (20 in 2003) fixed direction vertical shots.  They are plotted as a function of the UT hour for a particular day as listed at the top of the plots.  They are updated each day after the CLF operates.  If the CLF is not run and no data generated, the no plots are changed.
Upper Left Panel:    Monitor Probe averages (E2 - pyroelectric probe,  E1 - photodiode probe)
Upper Right Panel:  Normalized Ratio as stated.  Checks stability.  Should be within a few percent of 1.00
Middle Left Panel:   RMS, expressed as percent of mean, for each probe and for ratio.
                               (the RMS of the ratio should be smaller than that for the probes)
Middle Right Panel:  Like middle left, except that vertical is different  (for catching major problems)
Lower Right Panel:   Temperature of thermocouple mounted next to laser head on optical table
Lower Left Panel:     Instantaneous Wind Speed at CLF

About the above plots:
These plots are intended to track the long term behavior of the CLF laser and they are updated each day for which the CLF was operated on the previous night.  Like the daily plots, each point represents an average of 50 (or 20) fixed vertical shots.  Each of set of four panels shows the same set of variables, plotted with different time scales.  For each set of four plots the data shown are as follows:
Upper Left Panel:  Laser Monitor Probe(s) average readings.  
Upper Right:  RMS of the measurements that make the averages.
Lower Left:    Ratio E2/E1 normalized so that the average is near 1.  Same normalization factor used for all data and plots.
Lower Right:  RMS of points in the ratio plot.
