Table of contents

Measurement

  1. Start COSMOS3 and tune the receiver to be used
  2. Login to COSMOS3 manager GUI with Group=asteXX (e.g. aste16) and Project=sbrfXX (e.g. sbrf16)
  3. Run CONT qlook (qlookc) from cos3launcher
  4. Adjust pointing using either of the following observation tables (preferable, but can skip)
     
    SaturnDASH345stx5d3.start
    BAND8stx5b8.start
     
    • Auto-pointing is available toward bright planets
    • Turn on auto-pointing on the CONT qlook if necessary
  5. Run either of the following observation tables according to a planet and a receiver

Analysis

  1. Login to an analysis computer (e.g. aste-ms1/aste-mx3) with account=asteXX (e.g. aste16)
  2. Rsync CONT data from the ASTE site
    asteXX@aste-ms1: ~/analysis/bin/cont_rsync.sh <project> <obs. table> <time> -link
    e.g.)
    asteXX@aste-ms1: ~/analysis/bin/cont_rsync.sh sbrf16 str02b8 2016-08-15 -link
    ...
    • cont_rsync.sh -link automatically create symbolic links with old file names to new CONT files
    • The symbolic links can be also created by cont_link.sh, if you miss to put the -link option
      asteXX@aste-ms1> ~/analysis/bin/cont_link.sh ~/sbrfXX/continuum/data/CONT.*.LCK
  3. Run cont
    asteXX@aste-ms1> ~/analysis/bin/cont.sh
    1. Map Analysis>CFITS
      1. Select a LCK file in the .LCK File List button
      2. Set parameters
        Normally, it is enough to use default values as shown below.
        &ref(): File not found: "cfits_v6.png" at page "CSV/BeamMapMeasurementAnalysisSBRx";
      3. Push the EXEC button to create a image FITS file
    2. Map Analysis>CMAP
      1. Select the image FITS file created in the previous step
    • Endian conversion is UNNECESSARY for continuum data taken on Linux COSMOS3.
    • LCK endian and FITS endian buttons are NOT available.
  4. Read the exported FITS on ds9 for further processing
