Seeing the pulsar, but profile is still very broad.
Scan #9 is c0800x0256 cal
Looks good
Scan #10 is c0800x0256 search
Profile still very broad
GUPPI data is the same. So it's not VEGAS specific. I don't think my DM could be off by that much. I'm using the same DM as in the NANOGrav ephemeris.
Scan #11 is c0800x0512 cal
Looks good
Scan #12 is c0800x0512 search
This one looks fine * Scan #13 is c0800x1024 cal
Looks good * Scan #14 is c0800x1024 search
Looks good * Scan #15 is c0800x2048 cal
Looks good
Scan #16 is c0800x2048 search
Looks good
Scan #17 is c0800x4096 cal
Looks good * Scan #18 is c0800x4096 search
HPC5 ge stuck in a blocked status. Other HPCs seems OK. Profile looks kind of broad again, though. * Trying c0800x4096 again * Scan #18 is c0800x4096 cal
Looks good. * Scan #19 is c0800x4096 search
No I/O issues this time. Pulse still broad. Weird.
Samplers in VEGAS CLEO screen seem to updating with reasonable values but vegasdm chart recorders are not updating for any banks other than A. pol0 histograms are updating but not pol1.
Scan #125 is Mode 1 FSW
Looks OK
Data for other IFs, pols, looks OK
Scan #126 is Mode 4 FSW
Looks OK
Scan #127 is Mode 7 FSW
Looks OK
Scan #128 is Mode 10 FSW
Looks OK
I realized that L-Band was not in focus. But we still saw the galaxy! Putting it back in.
Scan #129 is Mode 1 FSW
Looks OK
Scan #130 is Mode 4 FSW
Looks OK
Scan #131 is Mode 7 FSW
Looks OK
Scan #132 is Mode 10 FSW
Looks OK
Turned things over to Joe to switch back to v16.3 at 18:03
Ran a scan in Mode 29, FSW to check out
Had to cycle VEGAS off/on a couple times, but it checked out after that.
Session ends at 18:30
Conclusions
Bank C channel 2 is not balancing properly in i1500 modes. It is about 5 dB too low
Need to figure out baseline ripples in 1500 MHz modes
Need to figure out 8-channel pulse reflection in incoherent 800 MHz modes
Need to figure out 1500x0032 and c0800x0032 mode configuration
64 channel modes still have bad bandpass
vegasdm chart recorders and histograms seem to not come back to life when coming out of coherent pulsar to spectral line
