Review of Bandpass Calibration Example

• Baltasar Vila Vilaro :
  • It would be instructive to include the minimum measurement steps involved in a bandpass calibration measurement. Good point. RobertLucas will add this.
  • Incorrect mention of 3/5% for amplitude calibration. Will fix.
  • Regarding the insertion of attenuators and phase changes. Will additional measurements be required? Yes. Should probably make baseband calibration measurements after each attenuator change. This discussion will be expanded.
  • Further comments and typo pointers are posted to the CalExamples wiki. Thanks!

Review of Pointing Calibration Example

• Baltasar Vila Vilaro :
  • Is line pointing allowed? Yes. Will make general statement that all pointing will use a "channel average" measurement, where the channel average may be the whole band (continuum) or just a selected number of spectral channels (spectral line). (DONE: JeffMangum)
  • Where is subreflector positioned during a pointing measurement? Pointing measurements for a given science band are made with the subreflector positioned for optimum science band sensitivity, but measured with a lower-frequency (i.e. Band 3) band. (DONE: JeffMangum)
  • Further comments and typo pointers are posted to the CalExamples wiki. Thanks!
• Robert Lucas :
  • Need to check to see if single dish spectral line pointing is in the SSR Requirements.
  • Should we just calculate the refraction correction using ATM? Good point. Perhaps. Need to look into this.
