A quick look at the data from this first astronomical run under
modcomp-free control shows things are in fairly good shape:
I filled the data with system flags applied, and without, to permit
direct comparison.
The 'slew' flags are working fine. The first unflagged record might
be marginally low, but one has to squint hard to see it ...
At L-band:
* Antennas 6, 7, 15, and 22 are being flagged bad, when in fact
the data appear to be fine. Of these, antenna 15 was stowed this
morning for cryo work -- so there must be something amiss, but which is
not sufficient to make data bad.
* Antenna 18 was good in the beginning, then went dead. This was
correctly caught by the flagger.
Otherwise, data quality looks good. Phases are doing what we would
expect to see with these baselines and configuration.
At C-Band:
* Antennas 19 and 21 don't have receivers -- this has been
correctly caught by the flagger.
* Antenna 18's demise (noted above) was *not* caught by the flagger
at this band!
* Whatever caused the flagger to dump on 6, 7, and 22 for L-band
didn't do so at C-band. Data are good, and are flagged as such.
* Antenna 14 is dead, and is correctly flagged as such.
* Antenna 13 comes and goes -- and the flagger appears to be
tracking this.
