NIKA2 technical run 32 / 17-24 September 2019

Back to the NIKA2 Run 32 main page

== Goals ==

- Continue commissioning of the new acquisition software (DAQ v3), after June's fix on tuning and few other "minor" things.

- New sweep to define new tones comb parameter (closed window + open on good sky if possible).

- Use the external calibrator: tests scans on/off, then rest of the run on (if no deterioration of data: form now on always use it).

- Continue polarization commissioning (help of calibrator for leakage and so on / synchronization / calibration).

- Scans -mainly beam maps- in total power & polar to acquire statistics for DAQ v3 commissioning.

- Possible tests on tuning parameters.
