Dick Sramek : What is cycle times and duration for relative amplitude calibration measurements? A single amplitude calibration system measurement will take something like 10 seconds. This relative amplitude calibration system measurement will need to be done every 5 to 30 minutes, where the shorter interval is necessary at high frequency. Will insert this into relative amplitude calibration sequence description. (DONE: JeffMangum)
Dick Sramek : Shouldn't one try to measure the relative flux calibration as a function of time using measurements of a strong calibrator? Yes. Will insert this into relative amplitude calibration sequence description. (DONE: JeffMangum)
Baltasar Vila Vilaro : Won't insertion of the solar filter for amplitude calibration of solar observations require longer integration times on the loads? Yes. Will add a bit to the solar calibration description point to make this clear. (DONE: JeffMangum)
Mark Holdaway : For single dish measurements, amplitudes for all sources, not just point sources, will need to be converted to Janskys. Correct. Will change wording. (DONE: JeffMangum)
Al Wootten : Document could be clarified with a "timing diagram". Correct.
Review of Phase Calibration Example
Baltasar Vila Vilaro : To derive a check of phase calibration bootstrapping at high frequencies should do strong calibrator target frequency measurements every 20-30 seconds. This would represent a repeat of the current "instrumental sequence". Will change wording to reflect this. (DONE: JeffMangum)
Al Wootten : Document could be clarified with a "timing diagram". Correct.
Next Review
On 2006/06/08 we will review the bandpass and pointing calibration example documents.
