CSV2016: Radio pointing offsets of DASH345 (2016-09-08)

Tasks

Preparations

  1. Basic checks
    • Record which kisa files are used for DASH345 and BAND8
    aste16@aste-ms1: ssh astecntl@aste-1c "ls -l /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/{DASH3,BAND8}"
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 astecntl astctl 12 Jun  3  2015 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/BAND8 -> BAND8.150603
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 astecntl astctl 12 Jun  1  2015 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/DASH3 -> DASH3.150601
    • Check all subref parameters (dx,dy,dz,dtx,dty,dtz) are zero
    • Check Aspirin is working in the "WIND" mode
  2. Tuning at EL=60.0 deg

Radio pointing offsets of DASH345/BAND8

  1. Repeat cross scans toward Saturn and shots of a star one after the other

Radio pointing offsets of DASH345

  1. Initial pointing
  1. Initial pointing
  1. Start optical tracking t194+10A UT01:15
  2. Login to aste-c1c with astecntl
    > ssh astecntl@aste-c1c
  3. Connect the stage controller
    astecntl@aste-c1c: tip serial2
    connected    <--- confirm
  4. Start iOPT on aste-c1c (= aste-cabin1c)
    • iOPT calculates pointing offsets from optical images and records their results to files.
    1. Login to aste-c1c with astecntl
      > ssh astecntl@aste-c1c
    2. Confirm that no iOPT is running on aste-c1c
      astecntl@aste-cabin1c: ps -ef | grep iOPT | grep -v grep
      • If nothing is displayed, go to the next step. If iOPT_r17shm exists, kill it.
      astecntl  4846  4806 38 23:57:49 pts/0    8:38 /cosmos3/naoj/sbinSol/iOPT_r17shm
      astecntl@aste-cabin1c: kill 4846
    3. Run iOPT in the directory of ~astecntl/optpon on aste-c1c
      astecntl@aste-cabin1c: cd ~/optpon
      astecntl@aste-cabin1c: pwd
      /home/astecntl/optpon
      astecntl@aste-cabin1c: /cosmos3/naoj/sbinSol/iOPT_r17shm
    4. Confirm "Antenna not ready" messages

Measurement

  1. Run either of the following observation lists in the batch mode of the COSMOS3 manager GUI
     
    SaturnDASH345istd3.list
