Comments:
Install BG3 cables on BOTH DAS. Start with VC056 schedule and when fringes are found, switch to main schedule. Check appropriate profile to use at Parkes.
Running eVLBI
Run the eVLBI from the vnc session vulcan:1 (normal password).
This will have to be split as two separate correlations. Connect the recorders in the following way
Experiment needs to be split over both halves of CPSR2 cluster, using the following setup
| Telescope | DAS | Recorder | Pam Host | Port | TCP window |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parkes | DAS1 | pkvsi1 | pam1 | 52100 | 64 |
| Parkes | DAS2 | pkvsi2 | pam3 | 52100 | 64 |
| ATCA | DAS1 | cavsi1 | pam2-ext2 | 52101 | 450 |
| ATCA | DAS2 | cavsi2 | pam4 | 52101 | 1300 |
Run the correlator with
> ./run-das1.sh > ./run-das2.sh
(run-fringe-das1.sh and run-fringe-das2.sh for vc056)
The recorders must be started after the correlator (within 30sec). The following is suggested:
Parkes DAS1 (pkvsi1)
vsib_record -p 52100 -H pam1 -m2 -f 1s -o “Parkes-DAS1” -t 12h
Parkes DAS2 (pkvsi2)
vsib_record -p 52100 -H pam3 -m2 -f 1s -o “Parkes-DAS2” -t 12h
ATCA DAS1 (cavsi1)
vsib_record -p 52101 -H pam2-ext2 -W 450 -m2 -f 1s -o “ATCA-DAS1” -t 12h
ATCA DAS2 (cavsi2)
vsib_record -p 52101 -H pam4 -W 1300 -m2 -f 1s -o “ATCA-DAS2” -t 12h
