The focal plane array was designed so that the scan track
of each stationary source crossed at least two detectors in each
wavelength band each time the focal plane array passed over the
source. All potential detections which passed the comparisons
described in Section E.1 above were checked for seconds-confirmation,
and those which did not seconds-confirm were rejected unless the
detector with which they would have confirmed had been declared
failed. The latter condition arose most frequently at 25 µm.
