Here are things that could improve the smoothness of next Nika runs

 * Use real coordinates instead of commanded coordinates: see my (SL) summary of [[CoordinatesParamNCS|coordinate parameters in NCS]]. Az(El)_real = Az(El)_expected + TRACKING_AZ(EL); Az(El)_expected = AZIMUTH(ELEVATION) ? but TRACKING_AZ(EL) and AZIMUTH(ELEVATION) are in encoder units {in IMBF-antenna}, so use BASELONG(BASELAT) [= source position in the system defined in CTYPE1(CTYPE2) {in IMBF-scan}] and LONFOFF(LATOFF) [= offset to the source position] ? Note that CAZIMUTH(CELEVATION) seem to be the intended coordinates, but the commanded ones are these corrected by the inclinometer values (and possible other corrections).
 * Tuning in first subscan with an option in all pako commands: /tune /tsubtune 15 to be able to tune for a dedicated first subscan of 15 seconds
 * Focus with 5 lissajous subscans
 * TAPAS integration: entry as one line in a log book + additional field for NIKA specific
 * Improve on plot quicklook
 * possibility to make subscans shorter than 10 seconds
 * automatic trigger of data reduction when a scan is finished
 * focus film and otf_map films.
 * Improved skydip routine (with current Az as the default)
 * Webcam poiting the sky through the vertex of the primary
 * auto-recovering of resonances
 * Telescope warning is missing when a scan is stuck

 		 We are merging all our wishes for NIKA in one [[ http://www.iram.es/IRAMES/mainWiki/Continuum/NIKA/WishList | list ]]. Sorry for the inconvenience.
