     5=== Observing ===
    36 1. Start the correlator (DFB3):
    47    * login to pkccc3 as corr/*********
     
    1821******** See whiteboard for passwords.
    1922
     23=== Looking at scans ===
    2024To examine data:
    2125 1. Copy from the correlator computer:
     
    4044    * {{{> lwp filename.ps}}} from the unix prompt.
    4145
     46=== Producing sdfits files ===
     47 1. Load data: pload <filename>
     48 1. Provide unit bandpass table [[BR]]
     49 Syntax : {{{bpass <filename> -u}}}
     50 1. Convert to Single Dish FITS .  Use calscans to do this. It will output the part of the spectrum specified in the file <filename>/freqtab.dat, which contains a list of frequency bands to be formed.  calscans assumes all bands have the same width and so expects a set of evenly spaced frequencies.  Frequency separations should be no less than the channel separation; if more, the output bands are the averages of several input channels. The {{{-s}}} switch gives the output as RR,LL,RL,LR (instead of IQUV).  The {{{-t}}} switch prevents any translation from telescope to sky corrdinates (parallactic angle tracking).[[BR]]
     51 Syntax : {{{calscans <input file> <output filename> -s RL -t}}}
