$\circ$   Correlators to Correlators

What: Each correlator will maintain a data base including the status of all VLBI tapes under its control. The data base will be kept current by personnel at all mission elements, who have the responsibility to enter all changes in tape status (e.g. shipped or received) at their mission element.

How: For the VLBA, using the TRACK software. For S2 tapes, and email should be sent to vlbiop@drao.nrc.ca listing the site/station name, date, tape serial numbers/root tape-ids, shipment waybill number, destination.

When: When tapes are shipped or received.

Where: TRACK can be operated via its WWW interface at http://magnolia.nrao.edu/track/ - a password is necessary.
