Minutes

Changes to CABB

• 5 antennae, at last.
• WEW to discuss data format changes with MW
• Need a scheme to handle missing channels (if a correlator board missing). MW using MC's prescription (missing data is set to NaN), seems to be working.
• looking at calculating Tsys from cal-on/cal-off data
• to give Tsys as function of channel across the band, RPFITS needs to change.
  At present this can only be implemented as a hack - use two pulsar bins for cal-on, cal-off data.

Test field selection
