- Continue commissioning of the new acquisition software (DAQ v3), after June's fix on tuning and few other "minor" things. === 1) Sep 6 preparation before the Sep 17-24 test run ===

- New sweep to define new tones comb parameter (closed window + open on good sky if possible). Before the test run, it is necessary to prepare the DAQ v3 and the read-data library for the new tests, i.e. some issues need to be fixed before starting.

- Use the external calibrator: tests scans on/off, then rest of the run on (if no deterioration of data: from now on always use it). The main issue is the error in the transfer of a tuning variable between two modules of the DAQ code (see Alain's explanations at the NIKA2 joint meeting, May 28th, 2019).

- Continue polarization commissioning (help of calibrator for leakage and so on / synchronization / calibration). Time jumps have been solved at the level of the read-data library and the new version needs to be "activated", i.e. copied where in the running version used by the make-imbf scripts.

- Scans - mainly beam maps - in total power & polar to acquire statistics for DAQ v3 commissioning. If needed, short time slots might be allocated for DAQ verification purposes before the run, possibly during the IRAM school week (contact Carsten/Stefano/Samuel/etc for details).

Students will use NIKA2 on a science case target, acquire data and reduce it; see the [[https://www.iram-institute.org/EN/content-page-402-7-67-402-0-0.html| Summer school presentation page]] for more information.

All the people who will participate to the pool run must appear in the table below; each one must inform Samuel and contact Laura to reserve rooms in Granada and at the telescope. For those who travel on IRAM funds, contact Samuel; see also the [[http://www.iram.fr/wiki/nika2/index.php/Travel_rules|NIKA2 travel rules]].

NIKA2 technical run #32 / 17-24 September 2019

Goals

1) Sep 6 preparation before the Sep 17-24 test run

Before the test run, it is necessary to prepare the DAQ v3 and the read-data library for the new tests, i.e. some issues need to be fixed before starting.

The main issue is the error in the transfer of a tuning variable between two modules of the DAQ code (see Alain's explanations at the NIKA2 joint meeting, May 28th, 2019).

Time jumps have been solved at the level of the read-data library and the new version needs to be "activated", i.e. copied where in the running version used by the make-imbf scripts.

If needed, short time slots might be allocated for DAQ verification purposes before the run, possibly during the IRAM school week (contact Carsten/Stefano/Samuel/etc for details).

2) Summer school

Students will use NIKA2 on a science case target, acquire data and reduce it; see the Summer school presentation page for more information.
