COVER INFORMATION Station: BADARY (Code Bd ) Experiment: X band NME+FTP-FT Experiment Exp. Code: N13X4 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: 512-8-2 Notes: 8 x 16 MHz, 2 bit sampling Check antenna pointing, Please Two FTP-FT scan scheduled. COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 3.6 NME and ftp fringe-test on 04 November 2013 involving 12 antennas: Eb Wb On20 Mc Nt Ys Sv Zc Bd Ur Sh Hh (+Md). The schedule consists of long integrations on strong calibrators like J1751+0939 and J1850+2825 as well as phase-referencing parts with a continuum source as target. Two ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: ~10:40 (scan 2, 2 sec, J1751+0939) ~13:22 (scan 67, 2 sec, J1850+2825) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Good luck with the session! Gabriele Schedule for BADARY (Code Bd ) Page 2 X band NME+FTP-FT Experiment UP: D => Below limits; H => Below horizon mask; W => still slewing at end; blank => Up.
