In the last 48 hours, in the middle of the night % of acquired data fell to zero with no apparent reasons. After restarting the receiver, it returned to work properly. During the last couple of weeks, the % of acquired data was not stable and in some periods around 80% (normally it should be 95% and up). We sow some RFI on the site, but we do not know if it could be the cause of the problem or it is due to hardware failure of the receiver/antenna. Please be adviced that, in the next days, it could be possibile that you see some interruption of MATE data flow. This is due to investigations necessary to try to fix the problem.
