Hi Eric,

Finally back up and I copied some files to the Socorro /lustre/tclarke/EricG/, permissions should be OK for you
to grab them:

ls:
readme.txt   VLITE-2015-09-01T000111-0.FITS  VLITE-2015-09-01T062834-0.FITS
readme.txt~  VLITE-2015-09-01T000111-0.META  VLITE-2015-09-01T062834-0.META
VLITE_1      VLITE-2015-09-01T062634-0.FITS  VLITE_3
VLITE_2      VLITE-2015-09-01T062634-0.META

The VLITE antennas are currently named V0, V1, V2, … to V9, we will be expanding the list and the
new antenna names are TBD for the expansion. I am hoping they will remain VX where X=number or letter.

the read.txt file tells what the FITS files are in the directory and the .META is just the metadata that we generate
along with each VLTIE scan. VLITE files are DiFX IDI format.

Thanks for looking into this and please let me know if you have any questions!

Tracy
