The observations needed should be mainly onf 8 80, but longer scans, and other observing modes should be also tried. JP recommended to set the wobbler throw to 40 to avoid putting to much stress on the wobbler itself.

MAMBO observations on Absorber: How to proceed

Ideally the measurements should be done with the moving telescope to be as close as possible in the observation condition, i.e. to have also the same synchronization signals as during real on-sky observations.

The absorber should lie on the ABBA rack and it has to be moved into the entrance window by hand.

The observations needed should be mainly onf 8 80, but longer scans, and other observing modes should be also tried. JP recommended to set the wobbler throw to 40 to avoid putting to much stress on the wobbler itself.

<!> Note that the ABSORBER test must be done with a wind speed lower than ~14 m/s.
