CARRIED FORWARD/UPDATED/CONTINUING
NEW ACTION ITEMS
Actions arising
CARRIED FORWARD/UPDATED/CONTINUING
- LBA data archive consolidation and copy at CASS. (CASS, Curtin)
- LBA data archive. Need ATNF disk space (Chris,Tasso, Shaun) Continuing
- ATCA Tsys via CABB (CASS) Updated
- Tasso Consult with Warwick about Tsys implementation on the CABB (Tasso)
- Observer training and remote observing (Tasso) Continuing
- Pawsey centre access for VLBI and eVLBI (Chris, Cormac) Continuing
- Linear to Circular polarisation conversion. (Chris, Richard, Cormac) Continuing
- Monitoring "check-list" for ATNF telescopes (Chris, Jamie S) Continuing
- Curtin Xcube testing. Unit installed at ASKAP. Commission. (Chris, Cormac, Tasso) Continuing
- On-source info from ATCA. Fix cgi scripts (Chris) Continuing
- Get Ww FS log comments onto Wiki. Use UTas "floggit" script and automate? (Stuart, Chris, Jamie M.)
- Fix recmon to track correct experiment name, especially due complex recordings for Ellingsen (Chris, Jamie S)
- List Mk5 rtfc times for each observation from schedules (Cormac, Chris)
- RadioAstron schedules and check setups (Chris)
- Use new numbers for ATCA (4077 for DA; 4078 for Observer)
- For wideband systems more efficient to stop data recording in slews/stops AND better effieciency in correlator.
- Cd upgrades
- DAS replacement by dBBc (UTas).
- L-band sensitivity measurements. (UTas)
- Tid tests for JPL DAS and Mk5c recorder
- Let JPL know re VDIF format (Chris)
- Web monitoring? Ports?
- CABB wide-band progress?
- Email Tim Bateman and get report (Tasso)
- Cd drive-PC. Fix in short-term. Replace long-term? (UTas)
- Ensure correct wraps and limits are supported in Vex, especially for At and Mp. (ATNF, Cormac)
- Setup of circ pol hybrids at Mp. Need to tweak (ATNF)
- Tsys logs from Mp may be wrong if polarisation hybrid not setup properly. Need to average the 2 channels (ATNF)
- Mp L-band and X-band low power and no atten to adjust. Check with Jock (ATNF)
- Pks update of documentation. Polarisations are usually swapped. (ATNF, JER)
- Pkvsi1 dead! (ATNF)
- Antenna positions at ASKAP. May need geodetic run for new antenna. (ATNF, JER)
- Train/qualify more PIs for ATNF remote observing (ATNF)
- Streamline monitoring. Check ssh tunnel setups. (Jamie + Jamie, Chris)
NEW ACTION ITEMS
- GridFTP archive data to Marsfield (Chris, Cormac)
- Access to Hart 15m Mark5 (Chris, Jon Quick)
STANDING ACTION ITEMS
- Plan for replacements of old LBA DAS and some failing recorders.
- Plans to replace at each station (UTas, CASS)
- VLBI science meeting in 2015 at Darwin/Katherine (NB. Now in 2015!!)
- Setup LOC, SOC (Tasso, Jim)
Next meeting: TBD
