INT2 sessions Schedules and Notes prepared by Dieter Ullrich, BKG Leipzig *** updated by Karen Baver and John Gipson, GSFC *** (the previous two Sunday Int2 didn't yield usable UT1 data) Date of experiment: 2013 JUN 30 - 181 (eVLBI) Nominal Start Time: 06h00 UT Nominal End Time: 07h00 UT Duration: 1.0 hr Number of scans per experiment: about 28 Correlator: GSI Participating stations: Station Code KOKEE Kk WETTZELL Wz Tape 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 20 at X band (no margin) and 15 at S band (no margin). 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.
