Sardinia (Gabriele Surcis at Mon Mar 08 15:14:10 2021) Success:

Medicina (G.Maccaferri at Mon Mar 08 15:19:57 2021) Failure:
No fringes. Problem not yet discovered.

Torun (Paweł Wolak at Mon Mar 08 15:51:54 2021) Success:
Initially wrong LO frequency set. Problem solved for the last 3 scans.

Medicina (G.Maccaferri at Mon Mar 08 16:15:53 2021) Success:
Medicina update: fringe are now visible, at least from scan 12 and above. Problem seems due to clock offset sign misunderstand at correlator. Nothing wrong was found at telescope.

N.B. (R.Campbell 14 Apr 2021): this problem was a specific to the correlation of the first part of the quasi-real-time ftp fringe test, and not intrinsic to those scans themselves in the observation and should not apply to the actual full correlation of the NME. The problem arose by using the clock offset passed during the chat without taking into consideration the "parity" whether it stemmed from gps-[fmout|maser] or [fmout|maser]-gps. The program that prepares the correlation vex-files knows the conventions in use across the various stations, so has this factor built it. By importing a value "off-line", we essentially overwrote the correct sign with the wrong one, in this case a net offset of ~22us (~1400 lags), outside the delay window being used in those ftp fringe-test correlations.

Hartebeesthoek (Jonathan Quick at Mon Mar 08 17:26:17 2021) Success: POIN
Ad-hoc 20 mdeg Dec pointing offset applied after scan 2, markedly improving fringe SNR. No other known problems.
