Wish list for NIKA
- The data reduction software should correct for tracking deviations. This is particularly important for 1mm observations under high wind, doing Lissajous scans. (added by IH on 20 Feb 2014)
- Focus: (added by CK on 20 Feb 2014)
- focus /dir x ! update pako manual for lateral focus scans
- set focus /dir x ! allow easy way to correct for lateral focus offsets
When observing Lissajous maps at different focus positions to deduce the focus offsets, it'll be nice to do these maps as subscans and not as scans. This would make automatic data reduction easier. Please also declare this kind of observations as something different from 'lissajou' so we can identify these scans conviniently and not confuse them with regular lissajou maps.
- Software: Ask the computer group to install some fits viewer (ds9 is the best option) on the observing computers (added by IH on 26 Feb 2014). (fv works fine also)
Remove this warning: W-LISSAJOUS, WARNING--CONDITION: Elevation must be less than 83.28 [deg]. It is annoying and confusing for the observers (added by IH on 01 Mar 2014).
In the automatic logsheets (TAPAS & Pool Data Base)make appear the scan number (SL 6 Mar 2014). Already the case, checked 20 Mar 2014.
Modify telescope information stream (PaKo & or ELVIN) and/or Camadia on NIKA side so that:
all the different types of Lissajous (focus, pointing, map) are identifiable with a specific name in the scan info data stream & in the automatic logsheets (currently they are all called Lissajous) (SL 20 Mar 2014)
- when a focus scan is run the starting focus position is broadcast and usable by the NIKA IDL RTA software (quicklook) (SL 20 Mar 2014)
when a focus scan is run use by default (e.i. if the information is not specified in PaKo) the current focus as the starting point (SL 20 Mar 2014)
when a skydip is run use use by default (e.i. if the information is not specified in PaKo) the current azimuth+2' as the starting point (SL 20 Mar 2014)
Some items from the wish lists of run 6 an run 7 are still valid ! (SL 20 Mar 2014)
Meeting in March to wrap-up the 1st pool run and to decide on what shall be prepared for the next run in Autumn: March 21, 12h-14h.
