COVER INFORMATION Station: ONSALA85 (Code On ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N14M1 Schedule Version: 2.00 Processed by SCHED version: 10.20 Release of about July 12, 2012 PI: Gabriele Surcis Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596508 EMAIL: surcis@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596508 Observing mode: Notes: 5cm NME and ftp fringe test for session 1/2014 (128 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 2 MHz filters) 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 March 2014 involving 9 antennas: Eb Wb1 Jb2 On25 Mc Nt Tr Sh Ys Sr (Td, Yd, Md). The NME uses a standard setup with 128 Mbps. The schedule consists of: - long integrations on strong calibrators like 3C48, DA193 for ftp-fringe tests; - linear polarization check using the polarized calibrator J2202+4216 (3C48 as calibrator of J2202+4216); - D-terms check using the calibrator DA193; - and phase-referencing parts with a continuum source (J0552+3754) as target. Three ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: 12:39:58 (scan 2, 2 sec, 3C48) 13:49:58 (scan 22, 2 sec, DA193) 14:46:58 (scan 60, 2 sec, DA193) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Good luck with the session!
