ATNF VLBI Wiki

4 MHz 8 bit data recorded. DAS 4 MHz offset by 3 MHz from CABB centre frequency. msl_f.pro das profile on BOTH DAS, using dig_out adapter board.

Recording CA01 only on “DAS1” (cavsi1) and CA01-CA05 (5 antenna) on new vsi recorder. From before 07:20:48 this was actually the opposite order.

10:56 and 11:03 UTC - offsource. This was due to an accidental shutdown of caobs.

Tied array status
Array Tracking Unfortunately the array tracking CGI essentially has a bug so the actual good time is a little better than indicated

07:18:21.0 - On Florence with tied array 12 (IF2), 3 (IF1).

07:35:00.0 - Tied array 345 (IF2).

07:40:00.0 - Tied array 2345 (IF2).

07:45:00.0 - Tied array 12345 (IF2).

08:00:00.0 - End of experiment 1.

08:02:50.0 - Now recording IF1 7160 MHz, IF2 8560 MHz, both tied array 12345. Ref ant continues to be CA03.

08:10:00.0 - End of experiment 2.

08:11:39.0 - Now recording IF1 8560 MHz, IF2 7160 MHz, both tied array 12345.

09:00:00 - Stopped, went to phase cal. Saw phases had drifted out to about +/- 30 degrees.

09:01:54 - Back on Florence after rephaseing array.

10:00:00 - Stopped, went to phase cal. Phases were still within +/- 10 degrees.

10:01:45 - Back on Florence after rephaseing array.

10:38:30 - stop to change frequencies and rephase array.

10:40:50 - back on Florence, both IFs now 7160 MHz, both with full 5-ant tied array.

10:45:00 - changed tied array IF1 to CA03 only, had adjusted gain by 10:45:24.

12:10:00 - stop to rephase, phases were +/- 15 degrees.

12:11:45 - back on Florence.

14:05:00 - stop to rephase, phases were +/- 10 degrees.

14:06:30 - back on Florence.
