COVER INFORMATION Station: SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Experiment: NME-FTP test at S/X band Exp. Code: N09SX1 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 8.00 2008 December Release PI: Jun Yang Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596507 EMAIL: yang@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596507 Observing mode: Astrometrical mode at S/X band Notes: Only RCP, 256 Mbps, 2-bit sampling, 8 Subands/BBCs. Check that autoftp settings to JIVE are OK. The next user experiment EH023B would use both sidebands.
