For the purposes of this study, only flares greater than GOES C1 class that occurred over the 6.5 years of Solar Cycle 24 observed by SDO [@pesn12] were considered. This defines the date range 1 May 2010 to 31 October 2016, as denoted by the vertical-dotted lines in Figure \[solar\_cycle\]. Also shown are the durations of the missions considered in this study. Note that EVE MEGS-A and IRIS were only operational together for around 11 months after IRIS was launched, and before MEGS-A suffered a power anomaly on 26 May 2014[^7].

Figure \[sff\_plot\] shows a sample plot from the widget, which was developed in tandem with this study (see Appendix \[appendixa\]). Plots such as this have been generated for every SSW event since the launch of SDO, and they are being continuously updated. These plots allow the user to readily view the timing and pointing of each instrument during a chosen event. This particular plot shows one flare from this study that was found to have been observed by all seven instruments:
