Cautions on operations†

It is normal that amplitudes are inverted in the MONITOR channel.
No signal could not be seen in the CH2. This is presumably due to Nitsuki detector(?).

Tuning of DASH345/BAND8 for continuum observations†

Set antenna EL angle to 60 degrees
Login to aste-1c with asteobs
```
> ssh asteobs@aste-1c
```

Select CONT BE

asteobs@aste-1c: swbox_ctl_be CONT           <--- CONT BE is selected
asteobs@aste-1c: swbox_ctl_be
status: swbox_ctl_be CONT

Select either of DASH345 and BAND8 and then, set the synthesizer B

[DASH345]
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 frequency is set
AMPL = 20.00 [dBm]
RF   = ON

[BAND8]
asteobs@aste-1c: asterx_sw BAND8             <--- BAND8 is selected
...
asteobs@aste-1c: synthe_ctl B FREQ 12.0      <--- 12.0 GHz x36 = 432 GHz
asteobs@aste-1c: synthe_ctl B
FREQ = 12.000000000 [GHz]                    <--- confirm the frequency is set
AMPL = 13.00 [dBm]
RF   = ON

Tune DASH345/BAND8

[DASH345]
asteobs@aste-1c: asterx_set DASH345
### Query of LO Freq ###
LO Freq = 345.000000000                      <--- confirm LO freq = 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]

If necessary, adjust ATT values with loatt_dash345.

[BAND8]
asteobs@aste-1c: asterx_set BAND8
### Query of LO Freq ###
LO Freq = 432.000000000                      <--- confirm LO freq = 432.000
...
> GET_PA 0 
3.380737,279.586792,-0.291290
> GET_PA 1 
4.022064,228.485107,-0.489655

If necessary, adjust ATT values with lopwr_band8.

Select sidebands and polarizations

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

Adjust input levels to DASBOX (TBD)

[DASH345]
asteobs@aste-1c: cont_if 2 22
changed Cont IF #2 att. = 22 [dB]
...
Cont IF #2 Lev. = -0.000264 [V]
asteobs@aste-1c: cont_if 3 17
Cont IF #3 Att. = 0 [dB]                     <--- Just ignore even if 0 [dB]
changed Cont IF #3 att. = 0 [dB]
...
Cont IF #3 Lev. = -0.000301 [V]
