Most things worked as expected, I'll omit the details.
1. Good fringes on all 4 EVLA antennas at 4 IFs at X & L bands.
2. A long scan at K-band showed no phase sawtooth on ant 13
(longest baseline). Its not ironclad, but it appears the
L302 updates every 10sec (phase, rate, & acceleration) are
smooth. Since Rick and Walter are busy next week with the
summer school, maybe it will stay fixed for a week.
3. A sequence of short scans switching between L and X band
showed that the L302s return to phase after bandchange, at
antenna 13, where the fix is in (I believe). 14, 16, 18 do
not return to phase.
I used default LOs. Do we need to check other combinations
of LO settings within or between bands?
4. In yesterday's test, P-band worked on antenna 14, 4 IFs,
about as well as the VLA, though my scrutiny was casual.
