Basic procedures

Start and stop

Tuning of DASH345 for continuum observations

  1. Set antenna EL angle to 60 degrees
  2. Login to aste-1c
    > ssh asteobs@aste-1c
  3. Set the synthesizer B and the switch boxes
    asteobs@aste-1c: swbox_ctl_be CONT    <--- CONT BE is selected
    asteobs@aste-1c: swbox_ctl_be
    status: swbox_ctl_be CONT
    asteobs@aste-1c: asterx_sw DASH345          <--- DASH345 is selected
    ...
    asteobs@aste-1c: synthe_ctl B FREQ 14.375    <--- 14.375 GHz x24 = 345 GHz
    asteobs@aste-1c: synthe_ctl B
    FREQ = 14.375000000 [GHz]                    <--- confirm the values are set
    AMPL = 20.00 [dBm]
    RF   = ON
    asteobs@aste-1c: asterx_set DASH345
    ### Query of LO Freq ###
    LO Freq = 345.000000000                       <--- confirm 345.000
    ...
    Set ATT     : Pol0=225, Pol1=310
     Pol0 =      225   , Pol1 =      310
     Pol0 = 0.005490[A], Pol1 = 0.007567[A]
     Pol0 = 0.662948[V], Pol1 = 0.778741[V]
    asteobs@aste-1c: swbox_ctl_pol 0 1            <--- P0USB and P1USB are selected
    asteobs@aste-1c: swbox_ctl_pol
    status: swbox_ctl_pol 0 1
    400:P0-USB	402:P1-USB
asteobs@aste-1c: cont_if 2 26
asteobs@aste-1c: cont_if 3 16
  1. Adjust LO attenuators
    asteobs@aste-1c: loatt_dash345 ???
MAC  <- should be confirmed

Tuning of BAND8 for continuum observations

(Under writing, don't follow this yet)

  1. Login to aste-1c
    > ssh asteobs@aste-1c
  2. Set switch boxes
    asteobs@aste-1c> swbox_ctl_rx 1
    asteobs@aste-1c> synthe_ctl [A/B] FREQ 14.375
    asteobs@aste-1c> synthe_ctl [A/B]

Tuning of DASH345 and BAND8 for line observations

  1. Follow the procedures described in ASTE (google)>Observing with ASTE>Observations>Tuning
