Preparations

  1. Login to COSMOS3 manager GUI with Group=asteXX (e.g. aste16) and Project=sbrfXX (e.g. sbrf16)
  2. Tune the receiver to be used
  3. Check Aspirin is in the WIND ON mode
    • Aspirin status can be confirmed by looking at the Aspirin Monitor window. Check the following three items.
      Current time = 2016/09/02 08:22:15    <-+- The differences among these three times
      Aspirin time = 2016/09/02 08:22:14    <-+  should be less than 60 seconds.
      Weather time = 2016/09/02 08:22:08    <-+
      Aspirin Offset : (Az, El) = (   6.64,   0.42 )
      Aspirin status : ** WIND ON ** ( C22:on  C6:OFF WIND:on )    <--- should be "WIND_ON"
      Refraction Corr. status : OK                                 <--- should be "OK"
  4. Launch CONT qlook (qlookc) from cos3launcher
    • Turn on auto-pointing.
    • Push the START button.

Measurement

  1. Adjust pointing using either of the following observation tables
     
    SaturnDASH345stx5d3.start
    BAND8stx5b8.start
     
  2. Measure z-position of the sub-reflector by running either of the following observation tables
     
    SaturnDASH345stsbd3z.start
    BAND8stsbb8z.start
     
    • if |dz| > 0.1 mm, add its resultant offset to dz.
  3. Run either of the following observation lists in the batch mode of the COSMOS3 manager GUI
     
    SaturnDASH345stsbd3.list
    BAND8stsbb8.list
     
    • A loop consists of 12 observation tables
      Step 1. repeat [z->a->b->c->d->e->a->f->g->h->i->a]
      
      z|
      -+
          e       A
          d       |X (dx=1.0 mm)
      g f a h i  <-Y (dy=1.0 mm)
          b
          c
    • Data are reduced by a unit of the loop. Stop running observations after the last observation table "a", if necessary.
