i have made two successful tests of referenced pointing.
1. A collimation run was done a few days ago and looked normal.
Only antennas for which I expected large inter-band collimation
errors were reported with large errors. The technique used by
the file is essentially referenced pointing: a pointing scan
at X band followed by a collection of pointing scans at other
band, each with the X band solutions applied.
2. An explicit test was done today which consisted of
o an X band pointing scan
o a few alternating K band scans with and without pointing applied
o a K band pointing scan with referenced pointing applied.
I have inspected the pointing results from this test and find the
K band solutions are acceptably small showing that the X band
solutions were properly applied.
If someone wants to examine the K band calibrator scans, the data
is in the archive with the name Krefpoint_003. It is about 20
minutes of data, 4 subbands and 4 polarization products.
It is time for a test of referenced pointing using an OPT
generated script.
