Meeting notes:

1. Updates on the OG(P) calibration
   • Tested UCB code and got results on 2nd run (no balance 1st run)
   • now need to interpret these results into something our system understands
   • investigating if the results will be receiver-dependent
   • RFI could indicate a noise source is better
2. Items tested last week
   1. Integration time MR
      • Released and tested - close
   2. Mode 10-19 hardware fix
      • Updated BOF in Joe's hands for testing
        • fixed 1/2 bandwidth ghosting issue
   3. VEGAS Blanking fix and impacts
      • Mainly fixed except:
      • Not yet fixed for mixed mode (requires special allocation of highest mode bandwidth on bank A)
        • Add to observer guide
        • could be handled by coordinator (not planned at this time)
3. KFPA - VEGAS problem (AGBT14B_342)
   • • Header information in VEGAS is not filled, VEGAS data looks OK (though not necessarily 100%),
     • Everything is fine when using Spectrometer
     • Seems like it is not a VEGAS problem - Adam to do deeper investigation via raw engineering fits files
4. Test Time
   • Wednesday
     • KFPA testing w/VEGAS [Kobelski]
   • Friday
     • 10-12 Balance tests [Roshi]
5. Other
