Goals

Test the performance of the new control system of the 30m telescope using NIKA2, according to the 30m Commissioning document.

Essential cases to be tested:

  • DONE 6.2 First pointing observations with NIKA2 (NKP)

  • DONE 6.5 Perform NIKA2 focus (NKF) observations

  • 6.16 NIKA2 standard science scans of compact sidereal targets
  • 6.17 NIKA2 standard science scans of compact non-sidereal targets
  • 6.18 NIKA2 flux calibration scans and skydips
  • 6.19 NIKA2 standard science scans of extended sidereal target
  • DONE 6.21 NIKA2 standard pointing session

  • 6.22 NIKA2 beam map at standard elevation
  • 6.6 and 6.7 correspond to lateral focus corrections with NIKA2 (pending in the 30m Commissioning document). We will try, anyway.

Get a new sweep of the instrument (Jan. 23) and obtain beam maps and other calibrations

  • Note: DAQ's run_76_tp_old.ini file should be used for commissioning tests, otherwise use the run_76_tp_new.ini

Input documentation

  • 30m Commissioning document.

  • Template for summarising the results of each test case.

  • Scripts and source files are located in the ~/pako/Scripts_30mCommissioning_2024 folder of t22 account.
