Notes on individual channels
The 37 channels of SABOCA are working fine most of the time, but see the exceptions below.
| Channel # | Description |
|---|---|
| 22 | This channel is sometimes variable or even bad, i.e. shows very low signal. Verify the gain on your calibrators and the usability on your target data. |
| 20, 21 | These channels are bad in scan 38925 only. They show excess noise, a few times more than the astronomical signal. Verify signals and usability on your calibrators and target data. |
