On 6/6/99 (DOY 157) a test was conducted to determine if raising the threshold
floor value would help lower the percentage of received energy and pulse width
values that are saturated.  The test would set the threshold floor value at
four different settings for an orbit each, then reset the floor value to its
nominal state.  The final parameter update was issued three times to ensure that
it took effect and the contingency plan of radiating a cold-start command would
not have to be executed.  The floor settings were: 

1999-157T16:33          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 245
1999-157T18:31          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 200
1999-157T20:28          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 155
1999-157T22:26          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 110
1999-158T00:24          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 10
1999-158T00:25          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 10
1999-158T00:26          Parameter FLOOR[0] set to 10

Each setting took effect successfully and data collection was not adversely
affected.
