[[Nika2Run64|Back to the NIKA2 Run 64 main page]] <<BR>>

== 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
 * '''DONE''' 6.16 NIKA2 standard science scans of compact sidereal targets
 * '''DONE''' 6.17 NIKA2 standard science scans of compact non-sidereal targets
 * '''DONE''' 6.18 NIKA2 flux calibration scans and skydips
 * '''DONE''' 6.19 NIKA2 standard science scans of extended sidereal target
 * '''DONE''' 6.21 NIKA2 standard pointing session
 * '''DONE''' 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_sweep.ini file should be used for commissioning tests, otherwise use the run_76_tp_new_sweep.ini
