COVER INFORMATION Station: EFLSBERG (Code Ef ) Experiment: P band NME+FTP-FT Experiment Exp. Code: N13P1 Schedule Version: 1.00 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: 128-1-2 Notes: 2 nchan x 16 MHz, 2 bit sampling Check antenna pointing, Please Three FTP-FT scan scheduled. COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 90 cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 02 November 2013 involving 3 antennas: Eb Wb Jb1. The NME has the same frequency setup of the experiment GS033A. The schedule consists of long integrations on strong calibrators like 3C345 as well as phase-referencing parts with a continuum source as target. Three ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: ~15:40 (scan 2, 2 sec, 3C345) ~17:00 (scan 35, 2 sec, 3C345) ~18:24 (scan 70, 2 sec, 3C345) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Good luck with the session!
