Phone: +1-505-838-4507 (home) EMAIL: lsjouwerman@aoc.nrao.edu Fax: Phone during observation: +1-505-835-7332 (work) Observing mode: VLBA 128MHz 8bbc 1bit R+L Notes: VLBA Monitoring test in dynamic scheduling Note: MAKE SURE ONE SOURCE IS SELECTED COVER LETTER: Please schedule ONE source depending on between approximately -3h to +3h of LST in Pie Town; a source can be selected by deleting the -one and only- ONE explanation mark in front of it. CORRELATION REQUESTS (Defaults in parentheses): Correlator (Required if recording): SOCORRO Correlator average time (2 sec): 1.835 sec. Alternate average time (for spacecraft). 0.000 sec. Spectral channels per baseband (16): 64 Number of antennas to be correlated: 10 Polarization (ON): ON Correlator weighting function (UNIFORM): UNIFORM Distribution tape (DAT): DAT Source positions from: SCHEDULE Shipping address for correlator output: L. Sjouwerman NRAO-AOC P.O.Box O, Socorro NM 87801, U.S.A. Correlator Notes: VLBA auto-release test. Please correlate at highest priority. Please run sniffer promptly after correlation and directly after that get data tape to Lorant Sjouwerman (AOC mail box/ext 7332). DERIVED INFORMATION FOR CORRELATION: Elapsed time for project: 1.00 hours. Total time in scheduled scans: 0.90 hours. Total time in recording scans: 0.90 hours. Total number of baseline hours: 49.36 (Recording scans only) Projected maximum data output rate from the correlator: 491.1 kbytes/sec if processed in one pass. Projected correlator output data set size: 793.4 Mbytes NOTE: Above numbers assume the same correlator parameters are used for all data.
