mrupen 3aug06
Quick & dirty report: looked at raw data only, no sensitivities etc. yet
EVLA ant. 13,14,16,18,24 included
Standard continuum, C X L bands (L band uses L1 setup)
3.3s averaging
elevation 20-72 degrees
mediocre weather (clear skies, API 9-20 degrees)
Obvious problems:
* Ant. 13, IF C, no fringes at any band
* Ant. 16, IFs AC, no fringes at C band
* Ant. 24, no data at L and C bands
* Ant. 24, X band, IF C had two sets of ridiculously high amp. with constant
phase (-45 or 135 degs, depending on the baseline), during the same fast
switching scan. Both involved the calibrator (rather than the target);
the first lasted two integrations (6 sec), and the 2nd lasted 20 sec (6
integrations).
Other than this the raw data look reasonable. I will send out a fuller
report later today or tomorrow, if the gods are smiling.
