COVER INFORMATION Station: TORUN (Code Tr ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N13M2 Schedule Version: 3.00 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 2/2013 (128 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 2 MHz filters) Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE Please DO NOT use the phase cal signal. COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 5cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 29 May 2013 involving 8 antennas: Eb Wb1 Jb2 On25 Mc Nt Tr Ys (Jm, Od, Nd, Md, Td, Yd). The NME uses a standard setup with 128 Mbps (like experiment EG073A). The schedule consists of long integrations on strong calibrators like J0137+3309 and 0528+134 as well as phase-referencing part with a continuum source as target (0528+134, J0522+1415). Because the M-band experiments of the session are methanol maser experiments, a phase-referencing part with a maser source (W3OH) as target is also included. Three ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: 12:07:58 (scan 2, 2 sec, J0137+3309) 12:56:28 (scan 17, 2 sec, 0528+134) 13:52:28 (scan 31, 2 sec, 0528+134) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly and that Phase-cal is OFF. Thanks! Good luck with the session! Gabriele Schedule for TORUN (Code Tr ) Page 2 Network Monitoring Experiment UP: D => Below limits; H => Below horizon mask; W => still slewing at end; blank => Up.
