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.
