Board #4 failed on another occasion after the errors indicated above, but this failure was
due to a power supply failure. Failure time was subtracted from the total run time, and
errors were not indicated in the total. Also, boards #2 and #4 ran over 1,000 hours each
without any error after the only noted error occurrence.
CONCLUSION
The fives sets of TAXI Transmitters and Receivers have run a sum total of 7,000 hours
(3.15 x 1014 bytes) with two error events.
