OT-ph1 Walkthrough+ open discussion of issues raised |
Harvey (30--45 min overview) |
Walk through the OT step-by-step (demo) for a planned simple observation. Go through the checklist of things users should go through: point source vs. extended, configuration, resolution, largest scale, dynamic range, correlator set up, uv-coverage, calibrations, early vs. full science. Address any questions NAASC staff encountered in setting up their phase1 proposal. See note [1]. Most of the time is saved for hands-on experimentation by the participants. |

[Helpdesk |
Tony Remijan + John Hibbard |
An overview of the helpdesk, how to log in for a user and for staff, how to manuever the tool, what are the expectations for the treatment of tickets, i.e. the workflow, and how the staff will answer the tickets. Also address how the knowledgebase will be set up, expectations on how and when tickets are answered and by whom etc. |

Mm/Submm considerations |
Crystal leads discussion |
We will have a discussion of all of the various considerations that users (and ourselves) should keep in mind for proposing to use ALMA at ES. This would include things like UV coverage, calibration strategies etc. Crystal will lead this discussion - everyone should come prepared to think of how they might write the technical justification for various science cases and make them strong with these mm/submm considerations. |

1400:1530 |
SIMData+ open discussion of issues raised |
Remy (30--45 min overview) |
Walk through the SimData step by step (demo) for a planned simple observation. Go through the checklist of things users should go through when using SIMdata - ES vs full, noise realistic, input model realistic? Data rate? Address the questions NAASC staff encountered in their own test. See note [2]. Most of the time is saved for hands-on experimentation by the participants. |
