COVER INFORMATION Station: SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N10M2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 9.30 Release near March 23, 2010 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: 5cm NME and ftp fringe test for session 2/2010 Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 5cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 01 June 2010. The NME uses a setup that mimics the astro setup of EB039G and EZ020A and that is typical for methanol spectral line experiments, but with 16 channels, i.e. using both sidebands of all BBCs, and 8 MHz filters. The schedule consists of long integrations on the strong calibrators 4C39.25 and J0958+4725 as well as a fast phase-referencing part. Three ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment. The data transfers are scheduled to begin at estimated max. transfer time (Sh): ~12:15 (scan 02, 4 sec, 4C39.25) 60min ~13:27 (scan 09, 4 sec, J0958+4725) 60min ~14:50 (scan 33, 8 sec, 4C39.25) 120min Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! 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.
