CSV2016: Subref tilt offsets of DASH345/BAND8 (2016-08-26)

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 ON" mode
  2. Tuning at EL=60.0 deg

Subref tilt offsets in DASH345/BAND8

  1. Repeat cross scans toward Saturn with various (dtx,dty)
    • Pointing toward Saturn
      BAND8:   stx5b8.start
      DASH345: stx5d3.start
    • Repeat cross scans toward Saturn using the batch mode
      BAND8:   ststb8.list (NOT stsbb8.list)
      DASH345: ststd3.list (NOT stsbd3.list)
      • Don't forget to turn on auto-pointing in the QLOOKC GUI
      • Set AVERAGE = 1 in the QLOOKC GUI
  2. Data reduction
    • Still under preparation

Information

220GHz opacity <= 0.07 -> Subref tilt offsets in BAND8

Preparation

  1. Basic checks
    • KISA files
      [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
    • All subref parameters are zeros
    • Aspirin is ok
      Current time = 2016/08/25 23:57:00
      Aspirin time = 2016/08/25 23:56:58
      Weather time = 2016/08/25 23:56:50
      Aspirin Offset : (Az, El) = (   3.20,  -5.26 )
      Aspirin status : ** WIND ON ** ( C22:on  C6:OFF WIND:on )
      Refraction Corr. status : OK
