NAASC Tiger Team meeting 2010 Aug 19.

Who: Stuartt Corder, Ed Fomalont, John Hibbard, Kartik Sheth, Al Wootten

Last meeting AIs:  
JAO maging team liaison.  Kartik attended the meeting by telecon.  Notes are attached to the web.  The most interesting news to me was that Boone has a contract, with Viallefond associated, to design the compact ES configurations.

Computers.  John summarized the student machines (details in minutes of 5 Aug meeting).  The have lower memory and disk space than ideal.  However, they are in hand.  It was decided to: 
AI-Hibbard-upgrade summer student machines.

'Chile software' Mark and Remy made a plan to set up a machine here as close to what is used in Chile as possible, with ACS and the tools used in Chile, including asdmbrowser, telcal and wvrgcal.  Then we can go from there to make them generally installed, once we understand the library dependencies etc.  wvrgcal is Bojan's software, which Remy mentioned in the context of libair, from
http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~bn204/alma/wvrsoft.html
as described on:
http://wikis.alma.cl/bin/view/AIV/Application 
This is basically an 'STE' as exists in Chile.  Stuartt, Al and Kartik can advise Remy as necessary.

Data:  Al put these datasets on our undisclosed location.
Ori data.  Ed looked at it, got a nice spectrum combining all pixels near the source center.
3C274.  Ed looked at this data.  Stuartt:  The delay server was reset and reinitialized about every other observation at this time.  
Beta Pic:  Stuartt had a look at this data.  Looks good.
There were also a Series of datasets on submillimeter masers which Al looked and and wrote reports for.  These data are not in the location yet but could be placed there.

If problems are found in datasets, send a report back to Alison please.

For each dataset, write some notes on a wiki linked to the table at https://staff.nrao.edu/wiki/bin/view/ALMA/AlmaTiger#edittable1
AI: All
