Steps to Add a new RX to Ygor
- Add the new RX name to ScanCoordinator.conf
- Add an entry for the receiver in the antenna_pfm database receiver table.
- Using the script in gbt/devices/antenna/AntennaPyRDB, use create_new_beam() to add beam entries for the new RX for each pointing configuration in use.
- Follow the normal rules for adding a new receiver to the IFManager. Usually this ends up adding parameters to the IFManager (for each new port), so a complete rebuild/reinstall is usually necessary.
- Create a 'receivername'.conf config file and add:
- LO1 receiver model information (e.g. sideband, LO multiplier etc.)
- Frequency vs. LO1 power level data for the LO1 auto-leveling
- A line which describes which port is the LO1 input port (used for LO1 routing):
# LO power/frequency map:
LO1pwr.N := 2
LO1pwr[0].frequency := 11000.0
LO1pwr[1].frequency := 13000.0
LO1pwr[0].power := +10
LO1pwr[1].power := +10
# LO Sideband setting
LO1.sideband := "upper";
port.LO1 := "J1";
- Add a line to ObsPeak.conf and ObsFocus.conf describing the rates FWHM, beam selection etc, for peak and focus scans.
