preliminary fringetest report for N11M1 ======================================= Participating stations: Ef | Hh | Jb | Kn | Mc | On | Sh | Tr | Wb | Ys Summary: Ftp data arrived for all participating stations. There were fringes in all channels to all participating stations, except for Mc/BBC02 and Kn (see notes below). Selected fringe plots and sampler stats can be found here: "http://www.evlbi.org/tog/ftp_fringes/N11M1" Legend: Y = Performed as expected N = Did not perform as expected ? = No feedback available from station Blank = Not applicable or waiting for further tests N11M1, Freq=6668.52 MHz; Mode=512-8-2; obs date=01/03/2011 | Ef | Hh | Jb | Kn | Mc | On | Sh | Tr | Wb | Ys | Observed | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | Fringes (ftp) | y | y | y | n | y | y | y | y | y | y | Clock offset (ftp) | ref| -1 | -1 | -5?| -1 |-10 | -1 | 0 | 0 | -1 | Recording o.k. | y | y | y | | y | y | y | y | y | y | Cross pols o.k. | y | y | y | n | y | y | y | y | y | y | Sampler stats o.k. | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | y | Check VCs | | | | | 2 | | | | | | See notes below | a | b | c | d | e | | f | g | | | Notes: a) Ef: operated DBBC in parallel to MKIV; DBBC data (Mark5B) correlated, but no fringes due a mistake in the hardware setup b) Hh: source was down during ftp test #3 c) Jb: fraction of high bits low in VC06+08/RCP, fixed at 13:03 UT d) Kn: only weak fringes in BBC03+04/USB, BBC05+06/LSB and BBC05/USB, because setup already optimized for spectral line experiments; polarizations probably swapped (see esp. results for scan09); automatic data extraction failed during ftp test #4 e) Mc: BBC02 still has problems to lock f) Sh: source was down during ftp test #2 e) Tr: still trouble with automatic file extraction, data extracted manually, resulting in slightly different time ranges; fraction of high bits generally a bit low
