LBA disk schedule - Hobart
The names of the disk sets are currently generic but I'll update the list the next time I'm out at Mount Pleasant.

Experiment Summary - Hobart
| Experiment | Rx | Agilent | Pol. | DAS profile | Second LO(s) | Coherence Tone | Nota bene |
| vt11x | 6.7 (5) | 12.2 GHz | ???,??? | ????.PRO | ??? MHz | ????? | Test & Setup. Details on the day |
| v255i | 6.7 (5) | 12.2 GHz | RCP, LCP | VSOP.PRO | 468 & 810 MHz 810 & 810 MHz | 788.125 830.875 | Two frequency setups. Changes can be automated in the snap file. |
| v316c | 6.7 (5) | 12.2 GHz | RCP,LCP | VSOP.PRO | 810 MHz | 830.875 | |
| v288a | 6.7 (5) | 12.2 GHz | RCP, LCP | VSOP.PRO | 810 MHz | 830.875 | |
| v190n | 8.4 (6) | 14 GHz | RCP, LCP | VSOP.PRO | 777 MHz | 841.4 | |
| v271e | S/X (1) | N/A | RCP only | N/A | Test using the Wiltron in the cryo lab. A tone of 8.20001 GHz should appear as the usual 1 kHz phase cal in vc01 | Uses the S/X receiver and the Mark4/Mark5A backend | |
| v252p | 8.4 (6) | 14 GHz | RCP only! | VSOP.PRO | 777 MHz 809 MHz | 841.4 844.6 | Do not use the S/X receiver! |
| v329a | 8.4 (6) | 14 GHz | RCP,LCP | VSOP.PRO | 777 MHz | 841.4 |
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.
SMY01 should be used for the channel 1 LO of the frequency translator and the SML for channel 2. The upper SMX is used for the tone.
Experiment Summary - Ceduna
| Experiment | Rx | Agilent | Pol. | DAS profile | Second LO(s) | Coherence Tone | Nota bene |
| vt11x | 6.7 | 11.1 GHz | ???,??? | ????.PRO | ??? MHz | ????? | Test & Setup. Details on the day |

| v271e | 8.4 | 13.04 GHz | RCP,RCP | VSOP.PRO | 428 MHz 684 MHz | 820.5 846.1 | Dual frequency. Use SMY01 into LO1 of frequency translator, SMY02 into LO2. |
| v252p | 8.4 | 13.04 GHz | RCP,RCP | VSOP.PRO | 637 MHz 669 MHz | 841.4 844.6 | Dual frequency. Use SMY01 into LO1 of frequency translator, SMY02 into LO2. |
| v329a | 8.4 | 13.04 GHz | RCP,LCP | VSOP.PRO | 637 MHz | 841.4 |
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.
For the v271e & v252p experiments, we need to be able to change these remotely. If we use SMY01 and SMY02 then Bev doesn't need to make an extra trip out to the station. This does mean that we won't be able to check coherence though.
