+ | ===== Scheduler ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The scheduler is a modified version of vie_sched (Sun et al JoG 2014). It is running continuously on a local server at UTAS (ares1-mp), each minute looking for available antennas. If the number of available antennas is more than one, a schedule is created. The schedules are then uploaded to the server for distribution. Each time a new schedule file (skd) is created, a new line is added at the [[http://auscope.phys.utas.edu.au/dynamic_sched_status.html|schedule status]] website. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The usual update interval is 15 minutes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the scheduling is not working, i.e. the is no new schedule despite more than 1 antenna are set on available ([[http://auscope.phys.utas.edu.au/tests/do_status.html|here]] to check) | ||
