* CSV2017: Remaining CSV tasks [#aba2e790]

** Tasks [#d199e709]
- Final check of radio pointing offsets in BAND8 and DASH345 (Izumi; ~1 day)
-- Their KISA files were updated on May 31th. Confirm reasonable pointing results with the files.
- Test observations with WHSF and MAC (Izumi, AES; ~1 day)
- Test observations with WHSF and MAC (Izumi, Ito, AES; ~1 day)
-- Confirm reasonable spectra toward reference and pointing sources.
- Tsys measurements in BAND8 and DASH345 (Ito; ~1 day)
-- Tune the receivers at the requested LO frequencies at EL=60 and measure Tsys.
-- Adjust the receivers if necessary

*** Preparations [#q73eb5cf]
+ Basic checks
-- Make sure that DASH3 and BAND8 are linked to the following files
 [aste17@aste-ms1 ~]$ ssh astecntl@aste-1c "ls -l /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/{DASH3,BAND8}"
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 astecntl astctl 12 May 31 07:58 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/BAND8 -> BAND8.170531
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 astecntl astctl 12 May 31 07:33 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/DASH3 -> DASH3.170531
--- If not, contact with CSV lead.
-- Set all subref parameters (dx,dy,dz,dtx,dty,dtz) zeros in the subref offset GUI.
-- Confirm that Aspirin is working in the "WIND ON" mode. If not, start it following the instructions in [[''How to restart Aspirin''>UsefulShortcuts#tcc7461d]].

*** Final check of radio pointing offsets in DASH345 and BAND8 [#cbd8e156]
- Execute the following loop at each of Saturn's ELs = ~30±10, ~45±10, ~60±10 and ~70±10.
#ref(sat20170707.png,,50%)
+ Tune DASH345
-- [[Tuning of DASH345/BAND8 for continuum observations>CSV/2017#e3a42f87]]
+ Adjust pointing toward Saturn with DASH345
 aste17:sbref/stx5d3.start
-- Record resultant pointing offsets.
+ Just measure pointing offsets toward Saturn with DASH345 (don't adjust)
 aste17:radpon/istx5d3.start
+ Tune BAND8
+ Just measure pointing offsets toward Saturn with BAND8 (don't adjust)
 aste17:radpon/istx5b8.start
-- Record the measured pointing offsets of the last AZ and EL scans.
- If pointing offsets (daz+ddaz and del+ddel) fluctuate by larger than 8" within a day, restore previous version at the end of the day.
-- Previous KISA files
 DASH345: DASH3.170510
 BAND8:   BAND8.170509
 astecntl@aste-1c $ cd /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag
 astecntl@aste-1c $ ln -sf DASH3.170510 DASH3
 astecntl@aste-1c $ ln -sf BAND8.170509 BAND8
