by different combinations of instruments. Note that there were 6953 flare events that were potentially observable by six or fewer instruments. Only 934 events were potentially observable by all seven of the instruments considered in this study.

Based on the search criteria defined in Section \[s:data\_anal\], the number of flares, and their percentages of the total number of SSW Latest Events (which itself is a subset – 86% – of the available NOAA/GOES events) that were considered to have been observed by each of the instruments are listed in Table \[tab:instr\_flares\]. The instruments with full-disk capability and high duty cycles (RHESSI, MEGS-A, and *Hinode*/XRT) unsurprisingly were able to capture more than half of the total flares considered. The remaining instruments – which have either limited duty cycles and/or limited fields of view – were only able to capture around 20% or less of all flares during Solar Cycle 24. Similarly, the number of flares and their percentages that were observed by different combinations of instruments are listed in Table \[tab:joint\_flares\]. Around 84% of all flares were observed by between one
