AM889 on July 17
1.4 GHz, 2 IFs, 2 Pols: usual deep field correlator setup,
5 hour experiment
antennas:
11, 25 out; 26 antennas working, 2 IFs, 2 Pols
flags:
First scan bad, a little junk at end of last scan
A few other outliers, but very clean data
Amplitude stability:
All antennas/IF/pols with expected sensitivity
Gain of ante 19 about a factor 2.5 too low all IFs/pols.
Probably a simple on-line gain factor.
Phase stability:
Little atmospheric/ionospheric variation.
ante 14 had unexpected large phase gradient over a two minute
scan near the beginning (same for all IF's, pols). Probably part
of an initialization problem in the beginning of most programs.
No differences between EVLA-VLA IF phases (flukes were behaving?)
Imaging:
Ran UVFIX
Quick image shows no unexpected problems. I'll let Neal do the imaging
properly.
PS: Neal, if you want any information (ie the few flags I used) about this
data set, let me know.
