Minutes

PL

needs to be raised at next PRB.

Release

• release 1 - no issues related to this specifically.
• bandpass varies with elevation or time, possibly did pre-CABB, now quite apparent (5% effect) No time-variable bandpass solutions in MIRIAD at the moment.
• bandpass has "ripple" that seems to vary with time (timescale hours). Not seen in interferometer before, but seen at eg Mopra. Would help to have a wiki page summarising these problems.

Tickets

ticket:50, ticket:66 : refer to bits of the same issue. Should merge or close or both
ticket:46 : MW to summarise status and close if possible
ticket:78 : ATFIX may need a similar change. Or not - perhaps Tsys calibration takes it out?

Other issues

All the miriad-cabb files are locked by mirmgr, for some reason.
MW busy in coming month with NASA tracking, fixes to websched etc. We need more effort.
Mosaicing files with > 100 pointings or names > 8 characters can crash the CABB firmware.

Actions

• MW - revisit tickets noted above
• MW - look at making bandpass table time-dependent (1d/wk)
• VJM - branch is behind trunk, features/fixes have been added. Move cron job to a server.
• VJM - start drafting PRB report. Discuss with David Smith.
• VJM - open ticket regarding comparison of whole-band vs divide&conquer imaging. ticket:84. Assign to Jamie/Emil??
• VJM - revisit wiki:Schedule page, it needs updating to match reality.

Participants
