IVS End

Finishing up IVS experiments on the 26m

When the experiment has ended (and the schedule has come to an end), you will need to check the cable calibration.

Check the cable measurement system.

In the operator input window issue,

cablen

Add in the test length of cable.
Check the cable measurement system with the longer cable by issuing the command

cablel

Subtract the 2 readings by issuing the command

cablediff

Write the difference in the written log sheet. It should be about 760 usec. Remove the extra cable length!

Once this has been done you can then terminate the field system by typing:

terminate

You then need to close the Field system monitor running on smerd by moving you mouse over the greem window and pressing Ctrl+C. (otherwise the alarm will sound)

Now park the antenna using vdesk if the antennas is not already in the park position.
