LBA Schedule and Observing Roster for Hobart, March 2013

Useful links:

• Australian LBA wiki & master schedule.
• External CSIRO March 2013 LBA Block Schedule page.
• Hobart and Ceduna experiment start-up and monitoring instructions.
• Katherine: LBA Observations with AuScope Telescopes (on the AuScope Operations Wiki).

Session Notes:

• Brett will help monitor Hobart during the working day on Thursday/Friday, but the observer should be prepared to help with experiment setup etc.
• Hobart observers must operate Ceduna (with disk change/setup change assistance from Bev for all experiments through to v256c)
• Vasaant + Brett will take over Ceduna setup from Monday onwards, but monitoring will continue from Hobart
• Katherine to participate in 8.4 GHz experiments, operated by Hobart observers (will be run from a VNC window on newsmerd). Documentation here
• Please remember to stick a post-it note with the experiment name on the disks when you remove them!
• Don't forget to update the ATNF wiki for each experiment. Bare minimum is frequencies, DAS profile and disks. Add any other relevant information. (See past entries for reference.)

Observing & Monitoring Checklists:

Observing setup checklist for Hobart and Ceduna can be found here.

To check which module is active, type this command into the Field System:

  mk5=vsn?

To manually set a Bank, use the mk5=bank_set command. e.g. To set Bank A:

  mk5=bank_set=a
