Array parameters August 2012 (20/07-20/09)
SABOCA was cooled down at the end of the MPI run to be ready for the Chilean time block starting on July 20th. It was used by all partners until it was warmed up on September 20th.

¹ These scans are not considered for the averaged parameter
file (see below).
Please note that the beammaps for scans 54073 and 60781 show elongated beam shapes, especially for the outer channels. They are therefore excluded from the general rcp file. The reason for these elongated beam shapes is currently unclear. We recommend that the PIs of data taken around the time of the mentioned scans carefully check their data and decide which channel parameter set they want to use.
Notes on individual channels
All 37 channels of SABOCA are working fine most of the time.
| Channel # | Description |
|---|---|
| 22 | This channel seems to be variable. It shows a low gain for scan 77195, i.e. the beammap taken on Sep 20th. Verify the gain on your calibrators. |
