March's
ASKAP update
describes ongoing efforts to migrate processing to
Setonix, efforts to support additional survey modes, CRACO (CRAFT
Coherent) firmware tests, Observatory maintenance activities, and further
holography workflow improvements. Until recently, holography weights
were made outside the archive used to track beams formed for science
observations. Holography beam weights are now created within this
weights archive database and stored under a new category that
identifies their purpose, along with a new parameter that tracks the
original beam weights under test. The image above shows total
intensity beam maps for several frequency channels from the
closepack36 configuration used to test database tracking and automatic
processing of holography observations.
