Following the successful recovery of referenced pointing with
stop-time files, we tested to see if the procedure works with files in
Durations.
Answer: It doesn't.
Details:
Observations were made of 3C273, at Kband. Following an X-band
referenced pointing determination, four short scans followed -- two with
the offset solution applied, two with it not, alternating. This cycle
(including the reference pointing determination) was repeated once.
Ken confirms that offset solutions were made.
The subsequent amplitudes show no difference whatever between the
'on' and 'off' states.
Until this bug is squashed, high-frequency observations (especially
in daytime) should be made using stop times.
