AR642 30jun07 02:42-03:40
dynamic run, fast-switching, continuum, C-band, 3.3s averaging
Summary: looks ok for 1st 17 mins (a couple bad flags), then no fringes
for the remaining 40 mins, including one long non-fast-switching scan on
3C286. 2/3 USELESS FOR SCIENCE.
Details:
* No notations in te log, apart from the usual, and no C-band receivers
on 19 and 21.
* Lovely data 02:46-03:00; then no fringes on any baseline 03:00-03:40 (end
of run)
- I suspect the antennas sat on the (very faint) target source for the
rest of the run
* The first record on a source (non-calibrator) sub-scan is not flagged, at
02:55:30.
- This record also represents the first time ant. 21 is [incorrectly] not
flagged, and is just before the last "good" subscan on a calibrator.
* The "no fringe" section ends with one long "regular" [not fast-switching]
scan on 1331+305.
- All the EVLA antennas are flagged for the 1st 3 minutes of this scan.
Whether this is accurate is impossible to say without fringes.
* Ant. 19 give no fringes throughout
- accurately caught by on-line flags
Ant. 17 gives no fringes in 2nd cal. scan
- accurately caught by on-line flags
Ant. 2,7,28 arrive late on 2nd cal. scan (13 sec later than the rest)
- this is not caught by on-line flagging
EVLA ant. 21 is nonsense throughout, but is only flagged for
02:43-02:55
02:57-03:00
* Much of ant. 16 is flagged, but the fringes look fine
