OBSERVER'S NOTES
Recorded DAS 1 to ATNF V007 B1-7
Recorded DAS 2 to ATNF V011 A1-7
Really, really bad RFI in several of the bands made CACAL'ing very difficult. Thinkk we got it ok for all in the end.
Only antennas 1-5 were tied and a new correlator log was not started - sorry.
INSTRUCTIONS
ATCA can tie all 6 antennas (default circular pol: RCP, LCP)
Record to the same disks that were used for the preceeding experiment. Both experiments should fit on two sets of 500 GB disks.
You will have to do a CACAL (including the 90 degree phase shift for circular polarisation) for each of the three frequency setups before the fringe-check can be done. Make a schedule on a strong calibrator for the CACAL using:
1band 64 2band 64
scan 1
1freq 1264 2freq 1312
scan 2
1freq 1364 2freq 1412
scan 3
1freq 1464 2freq 1512
Use the same correlator config as used in vx012a.
Start a new correlator log for this experiment, please.
