Notes/Comments: At 16:30ish, when Jan turned Wendy off, I watched the inverter 04B reading go from 26.8 to 25.1. We now know this is normal. Also, the menu froze and Don was there to fix it. First, the tried to reset the inverter on the keypad, but that didn't work. Then, he turned off the master power switch, switched it back on and the inverter reset itself. After that, everything was fine. Between the screen freezing and Emily trying to install the GSM, I was not able to take readings. That explains the gap in the readings.
