COVER INFORMATION Station: SVETLOE (Code Sv ) Experiment: X band NME+FTP-FT Experiment Exp. Code: N12X2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 10.00 Release Sept. 15, 2011 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 Three FTP-FT scan scheduled. COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 3.6 NME and ftp fringe-test on 24 May 2012 involving 10 antennas: Eb Wb On20 Mc Nt Ys Sv Zc Bd Ur. The schedule consists of long integrations on strong calibrators like 0528+134 and DA193 as well as phase-referencing parts with a continuum source as target. Four ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: ~12:06 (scan 1, 2 sec, J0927+3902) ~12:52 (scan 7, 2 sec, J0927+3902) ~14:50 (scan 58, 2 sec, DA193) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Good luck with the session!
