AR570 run: 26feb06 11:46-13:46 IAT

M. Rupen 27feb06
Mostly low dec (Galactic Center region)
L C X bands
Summary:
- ant. 14 IF 2R missing entirely
- ant. 16 mostly random phases at C,X bands, except during short periods
within a couple scans.
- some odd behavior at X band: a phase jump in IF 1 for all EVLA antennas,
but only in ant. 16 in IF 2
L band:
ant. 14: missing IF 2R throuhgout
ant. 13,14,16: simultaneous amp. suckout and phase jump on VLA-EVLA
baselines for 6 seconds -- EVLA-EVLA baselines are fine. Note that
phases are consistent, just not the same as before or after (this is
within one scan).
C band:
ant. 13 mostly OK
ant. 14 missing IF 2R throughout
ant. 16 random phases and low amp. on most scans with VLA antennas
EXCEPT an 8-minute period *within* a fast-switching scan,
and the very last scan (on 3C286)
- EVLA baselines (between 13,14,16) fine throughout
- ant. 13,14 go away similarly in a couple scans, but
not for the bulk of the run
X band:
ant. 14 missing IF 2R throughout
ant. 16 random phases and low amp. throughout, EXCEPT one 17s period
(in all IFs).
During that period (which is at the end of a scan):
- EVLA ant. 13/14 IF 1 phases jump at the beginning; their amps. also
go up, but for only 3-6s at the end of this period
- EVLA ant. 13/14 show NO ph.jump in IF2, except wrt. EVLA ant. 16.
