IF based delays (the DIGITIZER* terms) have been set for using
the delays measured at Widar. The largest delay error at the
moment is 2 ns and most are less than 1 ns. This is now close
enough to zero that we should be able to easily tell when there
is a change of delay. Antennas/IFs which are not working today
may still have large residual delay errors.
Delays can be monitored on the fringe display for any scan which
has ScanIntent set to CALIBRATE_xxxxx regardless of xxxxx.
As expected delays at bands other than X band are all small as
they have already been registered with respect to X band using
the old correlator and any band differences arise in the antenna.
Delays have now been measured at L, C, S and X bands. The high
frequency bands are next.
