COVER INFORMATION Station: HART (Code Hh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N14C2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 10.20 Release of about July 12, 2012 PI: Ciriaco Goddi Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596548 EMAIL: goddi@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596548 Observing mode: Notes: 6cm NME and 4 ftp fringe test for session 2/2014 512 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 16 MHz filters (USB-only mode) Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 6cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 10 Jun 2014 involving 14 antennas: Eb Wb Jb2 Cm On25 Nt Tr Sv Zc Bd Sh T6 Hh Ys (Yd, Td). Stations testing their new DBBC backends are also included: YS_DBBC (Yd) and TM_DBBC (Td). The NME uses a USB-only/16MHz setup with 512 Mbps. The schedule consists of: - long integrations on strong calibrators (3C286 and 3C345) for ftp-fringe tests; - linear polarization checks using polarized calibrators 3C286 and J1310+3220; - D-terms check using the calibrator 3C345; - phase-reference cycles with continuum sources (J1329+3154 and J1640+3946) as targets. Four ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: 16:09:58 (scan 2, 2 sec, 3C286) 17:11:58 (scan 22, 2 sec, 3C286) 18:04:58 (scan 60, 2 sec, 3C345) 18:57:58 (scan 98, 2 sec, 3C345) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! See you on Skype group chat and Good luck with the session!
