Implementation of continuous cal at Ke
In station.prc, take out calls to caltsys_man, systemp12
In setupsx, set
cont_cal=on
. In caltsys, remove caltsys_man and replace with tpicd=tsys. Remove ifagc and bbd_gain=all,agc calls
In point.prc, in initp, cont_cal=on
/usr2/control/skedf.ctl added
tpicd NO 300
and changed to cont_cal ON. Tsys will be logged every 30 sec by default.
Edited both files in /usr2/control/rxg_files and changed creation date, in 7th line+, commented out previous tcal value and inserted measured values from Jamie. Measured Tcal values (as of April 15 2014):
RCP Cont-CALs Channel Freq Tcal(K) sigma_TCAL (K) X1U 8217 8.9 0.2 X1L 8209 8.8 0.3 X2U 8257 7.5 0.3 X3U 8357 7.7 0.3 X4U 8517 8.5 0.2 X5U 8737 7.9 0.4 X6U 8857 7.3 0.4 X7U 8916 7.7 0.4 X8U 8937 7.3 0.5 X8L 8929 7.3 0.5 S1U 2230 15.5 0.3 S2U 2250 11.0 0.3 S3U 2270 11.7 0.3 S4U 2300 12.1 0.2 S5U 2350 11.7 0.2 S6U 2370 12.1 0.2
I've also added some notes on Continuous calibration
FS 9.11.4 -> 9.11.5 at Hb, Ke, Yg
The PC Filed system software has been upgraded from 9.11.4 to 9.11.5 at Hb, Ke and Yg
Field System Station procedure file updates
The checkmk5 and midob procedure files at Hb, Ke, Yg and Ho have been updated according to this request from Ed Himwich on Feb 13 in station.prc and ops-serv2:/vlbobs/ivs/proc/check*.prc. Also the midob procedure on the 12m antennas now calls iread and bread to give full read back of BBC and IF settings.
mk5streamhb upgraded to DIMino v3.0.2
mkstreamhb was upgraded to DIMino v3.0.2 and has had the firware upgrade. Thus was done after all the current stock of pre-upgrade, short-DirList modules had been transferred to RAID.
DImino upgraded to v3.0.2
A revision to DIMino (3.0.2) which supports better handling of 1024-scan DirLists has been released by Haystack and has been installed on mk5hb, mk5ke and mk5yg. It has not been tested on its ability to read back short DirList modules yet, but seems to be working normally.
