CHECKLIST FOR VLBA DATA CHECKOUT (Version 6.1 16 August 2004) =================================================================== PROJECT: GB057 ON 2005Nov12 AT 08:00 TO 13:59 JOBS: 6820 - 6826 CORR. DATE: Dec. 11-12 #TAPES: 1 STATIONS: GB WB JB AR #stns _4_ _x_ 1. Check tape distribution log(s) against job creation checksheet(s). _x_ 2. If necessary, copy the proposal coversheet and place it in the project folder. _-_ 3. Make a file called 'sniffer_srcs.lis' with a list of sniffing sources with a format like: 3C84 CONT 1.5 (time in hours between plots) _x_ 4. Run fitex1 or fitex2 LIST . refant startfile endfile Source LIST LINE/CONT Tape 1: GB 6820 6826 all con _x_ 5. a. Was polarization requested? yes Is it ON? yes b. Were special coordinates requested? no *** Check the plots for the following *** _x_ 1. WEIGHTS: gaps? stations missing? low values? Solid weights throughout. _x_ 2. AUTOCORRELATION: plots for all stations? consistent amplitudes? JB has RFI in BBCs 1-6. Amplitudes of pulsars, non-tcal scans, appear suppressed at AR and GB. _x_ 3. CROSS-CORRELATION: plots for all stations? linear phase solutions? _x_ 4. RAPD: good delay, phase and amplitude solutions for all the calibrator scans (i.e. range of 20 mHz for rate and 100 ns for delay)? _x_ Give the folder and data tape to local contact. Additional Notes: WB initially subarrayed out of several scans, so it was copyfreq'd to GB.
