060316 ObsLog missing entry for subscan time [Bertoldi]
The Pool database obs log does not show the duration of a subscan, only the number of subscans.
060316 revised onf30 macro [Bertoldi]
I have saved the old onf30.pako as onf30_old.pako and modified the standard onf.pako to make the subscan duration 30 sec instead 60 sec, and symmetric=no instead of yes. Note that the standard onf has a 2 minute nodding time, which i think is a bit large. I do not see any acceleration problems in the recent data. In principle, the shorter the nodding time, the better the data, but at some time the overheads increase.
060316 on-off overheads are factor 3 [Bertoldi]
For one onoff project (175_05) I reduced the data and found that the obs time accounted in the database is a factor 3 of the integration time on the sky, which seems larger than what we had last year, where it was a factor 2. Why is that?
