(George) Should complete re-numbering to better align with prioritization exercise from May 2020
(George, Justin) Need to forward Requirements Doc and prioritization to Jen Donovan-Meyer, as input to Stakeholder process for CASA 5.9/6.3
(Ryan) CNGI Status:
CNGI Study Closeout process (2021+) being prepared, including: prototype demo package of basic flagging, calibration, & imaging; review of C++ code reuse prospects cf demos; concrete ngCASA specification project mapping ngVLA (and retrospective ALMA) requirements, and including a multi-year schedule, staffing plan, etc.
FYI: CNGI and ngCASA repos and docs recently merged to simplify navigating that landscape
CAS-12736: accor test needs some VLBA data for proper test
Will use BA123a, which has been added to DR
(Mark) CAS-8537: gain curve
~Finished? (gencal integration ok?!)
(concat, mstransform ok?). good enough for single VLBA datasets, for now.(small casacore change pending (importfitsidi))
(George) CAS-12735: Frequency meta-info (includes generalized fix for CAS-12553, and several other bug tickets)
Making progress on defining solve context frequency meta info from VisibilityIterator2 services before iteration over solution intervals; nearing deployment
Some coordination may be required in fringefit
(Mark) CAS-13184): accor corrdepflags.
Already fixed by Mark (default still False); currently in ver/val
(Des) CAS-12765 (wide-spaced spws): adding choice of new aggregation method, waiting for freq meta fix for proper validation
(George) CAS-12736 (revised accor test) Mark may be able to help with test deployment (cf gaincurve above). (George remains curious about OSX version discrepancies...)
(Mark) CAS-12989 (eMerlin crosshands) Validation nearly complete (Anita Richards). For proper ver test, need small, appropriate eMerlin dataset (hard to get at the moment).
(Mark) CAS-? (import of gaincurve) need (small!) 'standard' VLBA dataset to test importfitsidi need just a few scans, at 43 GHz (non-trivial gaincurve)
Justin will look into adding a small observation to upcoming (Friday, Oct 2?) test period
Other development
CAS-12485: OTF weight munging for solve (Can we complete validation and deploy?)
Comparison with AIPS probably not needed, just need to confirm that intended weight adjustment and discernible and expected effect.
Des to raise disposition of this with Ilse, JIVE ops, etc. Maybe interested user(s) (EVN, EHT?) will emerge at upcoming workshop.
(Mark) Generalized polarization basis conversion
Other:
George to study what is needed in plotms for fringefit (CASR-537; may not require significant effort from Pam)
George/Justin to coordinate initial testing on CASR-463 (TEC) to better characterize basic requirements (also CAS-13040 re TEC retrieval changes)
