The 1980 June 7 flare at 0312 UT was analyzed with double power-law fits using data from the hard X-ray burst spectrometer on the Solar Maximum Mission. The flare is composed of seven peaks of characteristic time scale ≈8 s followed by seven valleys which may contain significant peak components because of overlap. The evolution of the double power-law parameters through the third and fourth peaks was studied and the fourth peak showed a hysteresis effect, being harder on the decay than on the rise. A possible interpretation in terms of a trap plus precipitation model is given and the relevance of these results to previous models such as sequentially firing loops is discussed.
