This page describes work to use the PCFS on hobart
and the Hobart 12m DBBC to measure pointing and gain characteristics of the 26m.
Use the PCFS version that uses dbbchb in DDC mode and mk5hb
hobart: fs-mk5hb
Check that the sources you want to observe are not commented out. Edit /usr2/control/ctlpo.ctl
if necessary. Then:
proc=point initp acquire
Data will be logged to /usr2/log/sx.log
In the field system:
kill
Then zero out the offsets:
prep

To mount image of 26m antenna control floppy:
mount -o loop sys26m.june2017.img /mnt/usb/
18 - 23 Oct: Observing three sources around Dec = -42 to look for repeatability of pointing over full elevation range, get idea of variation in gain.
23 Oct - : Paused for Callisto noise diode monitoring
