Details
Training
- just ran a few test scans
Melinda's testing
- leave a bandwidth at 1250.0 Causes an error message, but not all bandwidths are listed. Melinda fixes this.
- create an SB QbandSwitchTest, run this. Melinda messes with Bank A switching setup before we try this.
- Scan 9 - QbandSwitchTest - 600 secs. Seems to set up properly, but generates a "fault in BankAMgr acc_len" Abort the (10 minute) scan
- Scan 10 - QbandSwitchTestMode1 - 30secs. No errors seem to be generated.
- Scan 11 - no error. Was this a one-off? - Melinda tries changing the mode to be Mode 20 - error reoccurs. It seems to be an error switching into and out of mode 1.
- Scan 12, 13 further tests
- This seems to be a problem that Melinda will need to work on
- Scan 14 QbandSwitchTest - 5 min integration
- Scan 15 - QbandSwitchTest - but Melinda messes with Bank A phase table to make it incorrect. FITS file looks the same? (it shouldn't)
- Melinda removes her mods
