====== AuScope VLBI Operations meeting : 26 Sep 2013, 10 AM, AuScope Operations Room: Minutes ======
	

  - Review of recent experiments. 
    - R4599, AUST12 and R1603 were reviewed. The latter two have been observed and we await correlation reports.
    - Please remember to use ''schedule=<name>,#1'' when starting a schedule less than 5 min before the scheduled start.
  - Previous Action Items
    - Are Hb DBBC drifts still occurring? 
      - None have been seen recently. However, watch out for this problem in low bandwidth (4 MHz) modes (e.g. T2 experiments)
    - Yg clock jumps (All, MOBLAS)
      - None seen during tests in the last 24h but we are still monitoring as the cause is unclear.
    - Module capacity checks (Jim, Jamie)
      - Remind Yg to notify when disk modules are changed
    - Light in Ke control room (Brett, Martin)
      - Martin reminded 
  - Roster
    - Done to end of November. OK?
    - Note the new experiments (20 days non-stop!). 
      - How to roster?

    - PCFS on Hb updated (now same as Yg). Watch the input filter settings in the procedure files
  - Data transfers, changes and email list.
