| 2. Commission all sequences (pointing, focus, skydip, zigzag otf map, Lissajou map). 3. Test implementation of NIKA in NCS, and perform a complete calibration sequence including pointing model. 4. Test quick pre-scan KID auto-tunings procedure. 6. Test on site the new NIKEL electronics (that has been qualified in lab). 7. Have a training session on how to start the NIKA cryogenics. 8. Perform some science demonstration observations. |
2. Perform a new pointing model starting from the old NIKA Run5 one. 3. Commission all sequences (pointing, focus, skydip, zigzag otf map, Lissajou map). 4. Get the sensitivity and time estimator right. 5. Perform some science demonstration observations on a best effort basis. |

NIKA run #6 (11-18 June 2013)
Goals of the run
Install and test the new 2mm array and the 1mm cold amplifier (see the preparation run)
Commission the NIKA prototype and make a full characterization of the system on sky (not an astronomical oriented run).
- Characterization of the final NIKA prototype configuration
- Perform a new pointing model starting from the old NIKA Run5 one.
- Commission all sequences (pointing, focus, skydip, zigzag otf map, Lissajou map).
- Get the sensitivity and time estimator right.
- Perform some science demonstration observations on a best effort basis.
