an M1.5 flare that occurred on 4 February 2014. The upper-left panel shows the GOES X-ray lightcurves with the start, peak, and end times overlaid (vertical gray-dotted, solid, and dashed lines, respectively). Note that for completeness, the time profiles of GOES EUVS-E (centered on the Lyman-$\alpha$ – [Ly$\alpha$]{} – line of hydrogen at 1216Å; @vier07) are also shown in gray. [@mill16] recently showed that these data are more reliable for flare studies than the EVE MEGS-P data given that the GOES/EUVS-E data exhibit a more impulsive profile – as one would expect for chromospheric emission – whereas current EVE MEGS-P data erroneously show a more gradually varying behavior.

![Sample event from this study that was observed by all instruments; an M1.5 flare that occurred on 4 February 2014. Upper left panel: GOES/XRS lightcurves in 1–8Å (solid black curve) and 0.5–4Å (dotted-black curve), along with the GOES/EUVS-E ([Ly$\alpha$]{}) profile in gray. Vertical dotted, solid, and dashed grey lines denote the start, peak, and end times of the GOES event, respectively. Dotted- and dashed-green ticks mark the start and end times of each *Hinode*/EIS raster, respectively, while red and yellow ticks mark the times of each SOT and XRT image, respectively. Horizontal
