| 22 | Miriad manual:: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * questions from users?[[BR]] |
| 25 | not that many, it seems |
| 26 | * the most common questions seem to relate to things that have been taken out in the [http://www.narrabri.atnf.csiro.au/observing/users_guide/html/atug.html new edition of the AT User's Guide] |
| 27 | * people familiar with miriad know where to look for answers |
| 28 | * Ray Norris' [http://atug.wikidot.com/observerscheatsheet ATUG wiki entry] (login required) has glaring problems. It's far from a cookbook, more of a set of reminder notes for blackbelt users. |
| 29 | * Jamie has been rewriting main manual (mostly making notes-to-self) as he goes through various data reductions |

| 31 | ATUG manual:: |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * don't need to put much miriad material in here, point people to the cookbook. |
| 34 | * advise reading miriad manual before observations |

| 36 | Changes to miriad:: |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * divide+conquer: |
| 39 | * Emonts found it made no difference for his use-case (spectral line absorption) |
| 40 | * are there any situations it is really needed? |
| 41 | * bandpass calibration procedure - does it need to change? |
| 42 | * the need is probably frequency-dependent. |
| 43 | * at 5GHz it seems there is no need for repeat bandpass measurements |
| 44 | * at 8GHz, perhaps this is needed |
| 45 | * higher than this we have no information |
| 46 | * Emonts reported an improved rms from 1% to 0.1%, for the case of spectral line at phase centre, 5GHz. |
| 47 | * polarimetry |
| 48 | * possible issue at 7mm, Q & U signs flipped? (Can't find a ticket/fault for it) |
