+ | * LBA data archive consolidation and copy at CASS. (CASS, Curtin) | ||
+ | * LBA data archive. Need ATNF disk space (Tasso, Shaun) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * ATCA phasing. Check performance and implementation (Jamie S, Richard)** Updated ** | ||
+ | * Definitely need >200 mJy calibrators. Stress in documentation. (ATNF) | ||
+ | * Recommend strong calibrators >> 200 Mjy ~every hour (depends on weather) + possible weaker calibrators more often (ATNF) | ||
+ | * Ask PIs to nominate phase-cals and check fluxes BEFORE scheduled observations (Phil, Jasmie S) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * ATCA Tsys via CABB (CASS) ** Updated ** | ||
+ | * Investigate implementation by Bob Sault (Tasso) | ||
+ | * Consult with Carrad and Sault about Tsys implementation on the CABB (Tasso) | ||
+ | * Check with WEW and test whether acal scale preserved when mode changed to VLBI (Jamie S) | ||
+ | * Review ATCA VLBI configs (Jamie S, Tasso) ** Done ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Observer training and remote observing (Tasso) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Wiki logs (All) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | * Log transfers quickly to FTP area and/or Wiki (ALL) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | * Annual " | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Schedule more 32 GHz tests with ATCA? (Phil) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Pawsey centre access for VLBI and eVLBI (Chris, Cormac) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Linear to Circular polarisation conversion. (Chris, Richard, Cormac) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Monitoring " | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Monica implementation at Ceduna (Jamie & Jamie) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | * Remote access to Ceduna VNC via Hobart? (Tasso, Jamie M.) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | * VNC within VNC ? (Jamie M, Tasso) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Remote access to Ww (Stuart, Tasso) ** Continuing ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Simon Ellingsen complex schedules. Send frequency changes list to Ettore (Parkes) and Quick (Hart) for development of LO setups (Simon, Chris) ** Updated ** | ||
+ | * Rationalise Simon' | ||

NEW ACTION ITEMS | NEW ACTION ITEMS | ||
+ | * DASPRO for Parkes needs updating to reflect Mars Rx changes (Chris) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * NEXPReS BoD tests and demo would need time around June 2013 (Tasso, Phil) ** Updated ** | ||
+ | * BoD test. Scheduled for 27 June 2013(Chris, Tasso) ** Done ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Check-list for ASKAP Rx changes. Especially 100 MHz reference for X-band. (Tasso, Suzy). | ||
+ | * Include on Wiki documentation (Tasso) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * RTFC needs >0.5 hours for Mk5 and complex (e.g Simon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Eliminate separate rtfc schedules except for special mosed (Cormac) | ||
+ | * include in main schedules for 1st hour | ||
+ | * Inform PIs of suitable fringe-finders from block-schedule (Cormac, Chris) | ||
+ | * List of 22 GHz calibrators for Hart (Chris) | ||
+ | * Ask Roopesh for calibrator update at 8 and 22 GHz (Chris) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * X-raid disks failing e.g at Ceduna. Manage at correlator (Cormac, Hayley)** Done ** | ||
+ | * Sent to correlator for replacement of disk (UTas) | ||
+ | * Curtin to keep stock of 750 GB disks (from failing set) (Cormac) | ||
+ | * Curtin has stock of 500 GB spare disks. ATNF also has spares and can provide extras. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * NZ slow transfer issues | ||
+ | * Possible cache size in Mk5 sofware. Email to Stuart, Chris, Cormac (Jamie M) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * No phase-cal extraction from Mk5 in LBA corrlator. Inform Hart. (Tasso) ** Done ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Include Hart 15m availability in LBA. Already in SCHED. | ||

+ | |||
+ | * Develop LBA 64 MHz setups for X and K bands (Cormac) ** Done ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * For Tid, determine which antenna is scheduled in block-schedule and modify setup files (Cormac, Shinji, Phil) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Allow cdisko/ | ||
