1. A method of measuring and recording operational boundaries for a gas turbine engine, the operational boundaries utilized by a controller associated with the gas turbine engine, the method comprising:
determining a first burner dome to be adjusted in said gas turbine engine for a first burner mode;
upwardly adjusting a ring flame temperature at said first burner dome in said gas turbine engine so as to determine a maximum ring flame temperature operational boundary for said first burner dome upon determination of one or more of: lean blowout conditions, exceeded predefined liner and dome metal temperature limits, combustion dynamic pressures, and emissions limits, with the determined maximum ring flame temperature operational boundary representing a maximum ring flame temperature to be permitted by the controller;
recording into memory a plurality of parameters from a plurality of sensors coupled to said gas turbine engine operating at said determined maximum ring flame temperature operational boundary;
downwardly adjusting said ring flame temperature at said first burner dome in said gas turbine engine so as to determine a minimum ring flame temperature operational boundary for said first burner dome upon determination of one or more of: lean blowout conditions, exceeded predefined liner and dome metal temperature limits, combustion dynamic
