Code: N22X1 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 11.60 Release 11.6; April 2020 PI: Benito Marcote Address: JIVE Oude Hoogeveensedijk 4 7991PD Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31 521 596 508 EMAIL: marcote@jive.eu Fax: Phone during observation: +31 521 596 508 Observing mode: Notes: 3.6cm NME and ftp fringe test for Session 3 2022 (4 Gbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 32 MHz filters) Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 3.6cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 5 November 2022 involving the following antennas: Wb, Ef, Mc, Nt, On60, T6, Ur, Tr, Ys, Hh, Ir, Km. The NME uses a standard setup at 2048 Mbps for the first 1.5 h and then moves to 4096 Mbps. The schedule consists of long integrations on calibrators 3C345 and J2031+1219 for ftp-fringe tests. The source J2035+1056 is observed to determine phase stability in phase-referencing calibration. The following ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment (UT times): 12:10:00 (scan 2, 2 sec, 3C345) 2 Gbps 12:40:00 (scan 8, 2 sec, J2031+1219) 13:10:00 (scan 14, 2 sec, J2031+1219) 13:40:00 (scan 20, 2 sec, J2031+1219) --- Moves to 4 Gbps at 13:42 UT. 14:10:00 (scan 26, 2 sec, J2031+1219) 4 Gbps 14:40:00 (scan 32, 2 sec, J2031+1219) 14:58:00 (scan 36, 2 sec, J2031+1219) Good luck with the session!
