The high dynamic range interferometer setup is under performing and it is a heck of a long way to go for a repair mission!


They have developed an AI algorithm to compensate for well overflow in the detector. I'd prefer the description given on arXiv:

There may be more. I don't have time to read it right now.

Thanks.

That looks like a tough read. I gather there was a hardware problem and they fixed it in software. We've all done that, haven't we? ;-)
