| - | ===== Extra Step For Austral Experiments ===== | + | The summary file, which contains a scan-by-scan summary of the observations including start and stop times, azimuth and elevation, disk usage predictions is a useful resource when checking on the progress of observations. It can be printed out but to save paper it's recommended you view it in a text editor. You can find it on ops2 or ops-serv2 in ''/vlbobs/ivs/sched/<obscode><station_ID>.sum''. |

It should already be there and the content //between// the ''define'' and ''enddef'' lines should be identical (except the number code in the first line 'define checkmk5 00000000000x' - this is just a date code) . If not, then paste the checkmk5 procedure from the first terminal. |

| + | ===== Extra Step For Austral Weekend Experiments ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the weekend experiments, an extra command is needed in the first schedule so that it will automatically start the second schedule. Here's what needs to be done: | ||
| + | |||
| + | For each telescope: | ||
| + | - Log on to the pcfs, and <code>cd /usr2/sched</code> | ||
| + | - Edit the schedule file <code>emacs -nw aust<current_exp_number><station_code>.snp</code> | ||
| + | - go to the end of the schedule file (press [esc], then >) and add the following lines: <code>!+1m | ||
| + | schedule=aust<next_exp_number><station_code>,#1</code> | ||
| + | - Then Ctrl x Ctrl c and 'y' to save. | ||
| + | The two new lines will tell the field system to wait 1 minute (for the last checkmk5 procedure to finish), then start the new schedule. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <note>When starting the Saturday weekend session, please also download and drudge the schedules for Sunday!</note> | ||
