If the observers want to adjust the start and stop times of the shifts, please update this page.
LBA disk schedule.
This has been revised as an a fit of muppetry I didn't remember that 64 MHz experiments are 512 Mbps. The revised schedule requires a disk change to be made during the v271d experiment, which uses the Mk5 recorder.
| LBA Disk set | Start Time (EDT) | End Time (EDT) | Experiments | Observer | Change required at the end? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATNF V016B and CURT V003B | Thursday 10/12, 6 am | Friday 11/12 8am | vt10i, vc095, v318a vc094, v310a | JMc | Swap disks |
| CURT V001B | Friday 11/12 8am | Saturday 12/12 5am | vc096, v255h, vc097, v316b | Jay | cdisko - switch to UTAS V001A |
| UTAS V001A | Saturday 12/12 5am | Sunday 13/12 4am | vc099, v277c, vc100, v190m | Jim L | change disk for UTAS V002A |
| MPI-0609 (Mk5) | Sunday 13/12 4am | Monday 14/12 5 am | vc101, v271d | Jay, Dave, Jim L | Use Mk5 for this experiment |
| UTAS V002A | Monday 14/12 6am | Tuesday 15/12 5am | vc102, v252o | Jim L, Warren | |
| No disk | Tuesday 15/12 5am | Tuesday 15/12 9am | vc103, v289s | Warren | eVLBI and end of LBA week! |
All disks have been checked and cleaned. ATNF V016B still has ~10 hours spare capacity.

Note that the frequency for the coherence tone refers to the output of the CH 1 band splitter beneath the frequency translator (rack 6). A tone at the given frequency should return a 5 MHz coherence signal from the CH 1 band splitter.
