== Tips for Pool Observers ==
 


 * ''Source name'':
Be cautious with the source name: don' t put short name (3 letters or less), they could be confused with the local catalogue if the catalogue is not specified. Don't put large name with special characters (*,',etc), it may have confusion during the observations.
 * ''Observer directories'':
The various directories of the observers in the '''flexible account''' have been moved to the visitor directory to get a cleaner organisation of the account. Nothing has been deleted ! Currently the observers should not use the flexible account, reserved for the database. Ask for the ''hello'' passwd to work in that account.
 * ''Bolometer pointing'':
If you use a small throw you may fit the negative part (off-position) along the az,ele axis. Check the map of the mopsic monitor to be sure of the source position.
 * ''MOPSIC monitor stop'':
/!\ If a bad fits file is produced (which happens from time to time) the MOPSIC monitor will stop. Don' t forget to restart it.
Just type in MopsicL
 * ''Pointing problems:''
Ask the AoD or the Operator to check the ''firstPhase'' of Abba. Currently it is set to ''Off''.

 * ''MIRA crashing'':
Be sure that the backend Part. number is correct (1mhz 1 2, 4mhz 1 2, vespa 1 2 3 ...). If it is not set correctly MIRA will crash for the reduction.
