---

Minutes

• budget issue a minor error in dashboard, it seems.
• question about zoom bands - can RPFITS handle them?
  • at present can read 16 simultaneous, this is a parameter that's easily changed
• MarkW workload
  • current task he's doing is driven by urgency
  • Euan could take over some of the ATCA software work (50% EFT), but working on 'devaxination' of online s/w until end of 2009 (so we aren't stuck on one - obsolete - version of the Intel compiler)
  • Graeme ultimately sets Marks' priorities
• Emil using both miriad & casapy to process, reporting issues as he finds them
• Cross-comparison data sets?
  • CenA has been done in both packages (Feain/Cornwell?) but not with CABB data
• Jamie reports users complaining that flagging is a painful process
• another related issue is 'matching up' the outputs of blflag and uvplt.
• mfcal 'runs out of memory' issue, with interval=0.1.
  • underlying reason is more tasks need conversion to using ptrdiff for array indexing. Only invert has been done thus far.
• Next meeting proposed for 2009-08-19.

Actions

• Vince to followup with WEW on state of zoom bands and how he plans to implement them
• Jamie to open tickets regarding complaints he's received (on flagging)
• Vince to explore making xmltv24 shell script available
• Emil (and Vince?) to explore revamping pyflag
• MarkW to continue implementation of time-variable bandpass solutions
• MarkC to explore changing uvplt, mfcal to use ptrdiff.

Participants

• Graeme
• MarkW
• MarkC
• Vince
