Discussion

Consider the following statements about reading out a recovered recorder:

1. The physical condition of the memory module is assessed before power is applied.

2. A module recovered from sea water is cleaned and dried first.

3. A wrong conversion factor produces an obviously nonsensical trace.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.2 and 3 only
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

The first two describe the readout procedure correctly: the module's physical condition is assessed before any power is applied, and a module from sea water is cleaned and dried first.

The third is the reason validation is needed rather than a fact. A wrong conversion factor usually gives a plausible trace - a gain error scales it, an offset shifts it - which is exactly why the readout must be anchored to independently known events.
