  CTM2 and CTM5 began flagging YELLOW HIGH on the POCC display.  BTM0, BTM1
  BTM2, BTM3, BTM4, BTM5 (the instrument front end) showed elevated 
  temperature levels.  Elevated temperature levels may be due to offpointing
  from the sun in combination with elevated spacecraft panel temperature.

  A M8 X-Ray occured at 00:00 UT along with a large CME and a proton event. 
  This caused GIS detector 1 to trip at 00:06 UT followed by detector 3
  (00:16 UT) and  detector 4 (00:18 UT).  All detectors were reset at by
  00:22 UT.
  Due to the negative impact of the proton storm on the science data, the
  science plan was aborted at 13:40 UT and the NIS high voltage disabled.  The 
  NIS was then reset at 13:49 UT in order to clear a prior error.  Following
  the NIS reset a WATCHDOG error occured at 13:53 while running cpt/UPDATE.
  Recovery operations for the WATCHDOG error began at 16:19 UT.  LOBT was 
  sent at 16:38 UT.  At 16:54 UT a transition from telemetry submode 5 to 
  telemetry submode 6.  During the transition CDS ceased responding to
  commands.  CDS was then reset at 17:12 UT.  LOBT was sent at 17:18 UT and
  recovery operations were completed at 18:11 UT.
  Two parity errors were detected in the primary processor memory space.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM:

       Raster ID:10/ Variation: 44    old: 14500 --> new: 7000
