INT2 sessions Schedules and Notes prepared by Dieter Ullrich, BKG Leipzig *** updated by Karen Baver and John Gipson, GSFC *** Date of experiment: 2013 JUN 23 - 174 (eVLBI) Nominal Start Time: 06h00 UT Nominal End Time: 07h00 UT Duration: 1.0 hr Number of scans per experiment: about 18 Correlator: GSI Participating stations: Station Code KOKEE Kk WETTZELL Wz Disk usage and scans to be observed: See summary of schedules below Schedule ======== The schedule was produced by Dieter Ullrich using a mixture of the automatic and the manual mode of sked version 2011May24 under linux. The minimum scan duration was fixed to 30 sec (before August 04 it was fixed to 120 sec). The minimum SNR on all baselines is 25 at X band and 20 at S band. *** The updated schedule uses a Minscan of 40 sec and SNR values of 18 at X band (margin 10) and 15 at S band (margin 5). The SEFD at X band for Kokee was changed to 3000 (from 2000). The scheduling was done according to the USS strategy (uniform sky) also scheduling weaker sources.
