! ! EVN Calibration Information file, to be used with the ANTAB program ! ! Compiled by Jean-Francois Desmurs (desmurs@oan.es) ! 970117 First version ! 970707 Latest update ! ! Send any changes or updates to the antenna information to the email address ! given above ! ! NOTE: Regarding Polarization - If there is only one Polarization available ! this is indicated by having DPFU value 0.0 ! for RCP (0.0 for LCP for S and X Band) ! ! ! ! * Regarding INDEX line : ! ! This is an important step, man will have to check that the line INDEX ! is set properly for is experiment/data format/center of correlation. ! ! 1) For MKIII and MKIV experiments: ! ****************************** ! ! A MKIII/IV terminal measures Tsys ONLY for the USB of a given VC. ! That is to said that in the case of an experiment using both side band ! Upper and Lower like for mode A and B in MKIII, the observer will find ! only ONE value for each pair of USB and LSB for each VC. ! ! A) Correlation in Bonn: Data read in AIPS by MK3IN: ! ! a) Mode MKIII A and B ! * Using the default of MK3IN: ! Then Aips will "fold" the data. This means that for each couple ! of USB-LSB, it will be assign ONE IF. ! ! In that case the INDEX should be (for example in case of mode A): ! INDEX = 'L1', 'L2', ... 'L14' ! (the number of IF depends of the mode use(mode A:14; B,C,E:7; D:1). ! ! * Loading USB and LSB separately: ! Then Aips will assign a different IF for each entry (USB and LSB ! of a given VC), the line INDEX should look like (for example in ! case of mode B): ! INDEX = 'L1:2', 'L3:4', ... 'L13:14' ! ! b) Mode MKIII C, D and E: ! Only one side band is use (usually the USB) at a time. So the INDEX ! line is: ! INDEX = 'L1', 'L2', ... ! ! B) Correlation in Socorro: ! ! * The Side Band are NEVER folded together so ALWAYS use as INDEX line: ! (USB and LSB are loaded on separate IF) ! INDEX = 'L1:2', 'L3:4', ... ! ! 2) For VLBA Terminal: ! ****************** ! ! Antennas with VLBA terminal record both USB and LSB ! ************* ! * The data are NEVER folded together, used INDEX line looks like: ! INDEX = 'L1', 'L2', ... [Until the number of VCs] ! ! ! * Regarding INDEX negative numbers : ! ! ! Overflows have been replaced by -2.0 in the appropriate column and ! empty columns by -3.0. The user should replace these numbers and others ! that they deem inappropriate (very high tsys values and occasional ! negative numbers) with appropriate numbers ! from adjacent scans or IFs. ! ! Regarding TIMEOFFSET - The TIMEOFFSET is used as EVN makes the TSYS ! measurements before the scan. Since ANTAB requires that the measurement ! falls within the scan itself TIMEOFFSET=90 is used. This will displace ! the measurement by 90 seconds. In the case of short scans this number ! should be changed so that the measurement falls within the scan thus ! TIMEOFFSET needs to be lowered. Try with lower values until ANTAB ! recognizes the value. ! ! ! ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- !
