I ran a quick check of all EVLA antennas at all bands, last night.
I ran referenced pointing at X, K, and Q bands (primary only --
no attempt at secondary, since I don't know how to do that with
the EVLA).
Quick report:
L-Band: antennas 13, 14 and 16 not functioning if IFs A and C.
(18 has no LSC converter, so nothing was expected).
But -- antennas 13, 14 and 16 gave good fringes if IFs B and D.
Interestingly, 13B was flagged as bad, while 13D was flagged o.k.
C-band: 13, 14 and 16 gave very nice data.
X-band: 13, 14 and 16 worked well. Antenna 18 did not.
Good pointing solutions for 13, 14 and 16. None from 18.
K-band: 13, 14 and 16 worked well. Good pointing
solutions from all three antennas.
Q-Band: No good data. No pointing solutions. Antenna 14
seems to be fringing weakly.
A more careful look at the data will follow when time allows.
