VEGAS observation preparation Status:
half part of the IF band has poor SNR. why? is it fixed already? how to fix?
Resolved and ready for test
the start up problem:
Resolved and ready for test
16 bins of the spectra have poor SNR. (an FPGA design problem).
Resolved and ready for test
valon locking problem.
Solved by a power cycle - inconsistent status between python GUI and laptop
what else needs to get fixed before we observe?
12 second gaps
Resolved and ready for test
what tests should we do before we have enough confidence to start observing?
Test Pulsar
Ready to go - test 22-Jan PM
version with 'broken-up' observation data to later verify the ability to stitch together multiple observations
Broadband noise test 23 Jan AM
Known Pulsar - with gap to prove obs can be combined
Scheduled GBT time 23-Jan PM
On-Off continuum obs for sensitivity
Six hour data collection test period would be nice - can be done with test pulsar
