COVER INFORMATION Station: SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N09L2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 8.10 Bug fixs and minor enhancements PI: Stefanie Muehle Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596508 EMAIL: muehle@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596508 Observing mode: Notes: Please DO NOT use the phase cal signal. Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 18cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 02 June 2009. The NME uses a setup similar to the one of the 1024Mbps user experiments and consists of long integrations strong sources - the fringe finders 4C39.25, 3C84 and 3C345 and the calibrators 3C273B, 3C286 and OQ208 - and a phase-referencing part. Four ftp tests are scheduled: ~13:03 UT (scan 4, 4 sec, 4C39.25) ~14:25 UT (scan 24, 8 sec, 4C39.25) ~15:46 UT (scan 31, 4 sec, 3C273B) ~17:19 UT (scan 39, 8 sec, 3C345, no Wb) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Good luck with the session! Stefanie Schedule for SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Page 2 Network Monitoring Experiment UP: D => Below limits; H => Below horizon mask. blank => Up.
