The calibration time, 2 hours per day from Sat 15 to Monday 17, will be used to test the standard calibration sequences.
The scientific time will be managed in a common NIKA pool. Details to be given later.		 The calibration time, 5/2 hours per day from Sat 15 to Monday 17, will be used to test the standard calibration sequences.

 * The run7 parameters were Nasmyth (-37,-30) set Pointing (-16,-2) and p11cor, p12cor=0,0 (NasInPointingModel) with Detector 494 being the reference
 * Tune kids on a quasar (Track). Cross on 6 quasars with Nas=0,0: find pointing corr. (Method suggested by Juan and Carsten 16/2/2014)
 * Update the pointing model, ie put in the right p11cor, p12cor values as well as the elevation offset p?cor
 * KID optimisation
 * Pointliss. Focus and Focusliss

 * Liss 5min weak source
 * otf_geom again
 * Liss 5min weak source
 * skydip
 * Check all procedures ( bright and faint sources)
 * Observe at least one of the brightest asteroids. Check that orbital elements are ok and that fluxes are ok.

The scientific time will be managed in a common NIKA pool. [[http://www.iram.es/IRAMES/mainWiki/Continuum/PoolOrganization/1stNIKApool|Official 1st NIKA IRAM observing pool here]].
Calibration periods will be interspersed at regular intervals.

Guidelines for calibration scans:
 * (Observer responsibility) Pointing every 1h or less. Focus every 2/4 hours, more often at sunrise and sunset.
 * (NIKA team responsibility t21) otf_geom every 6 hours. Skydips every 12 hours.
