COVER INFORMATION Station: EFLSBERG (Code Ef ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N10K1 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 9.30 Release near March 23, 2010 PI: Stefanie Muehle Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596508 EMAIL: muehle@jive.nl Fax: +31-521-596539 Phone during observation: +31-521-596508 Observing mode: Notes: K-band NME (512 Mbps, 2-bit sampling, 16MHz filter) for session 3/2010 Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the K-band NME and ftp fringe-test on 29 October 2010. The NME uses a setup that covers the frequencies observed by ER025A and ER025B (redshifted H2O lines) and consists of long integrations on the strong calibrators 3C273, 4C39.25, 3C345 and 3C454.3 as well as a fast phase-referencing part and several ftp-fringe tests. The data transfers are scheduled to begin at ~12:15 (scan 02, 8 sec, 3C273) ~13:14 (scan 08, 8 sec, 4C39.25) ~14:41 (scan 37, 8 sec, 3C454.3) Phase cal tones are ON to provide additional diagnostics at the stations. Please make sure that PCAL is turned OFF after this experiment. Thanks! Good luck with the session!
