! !---------------------------------------------------------------------- ! VHC: VLBA Health Check (aka Network Monitoring) (LOS 21/04/02) ! minor mods by Greg Taylor 23/04/02, now aka auto-release test ! assigned project code TR017A, runs 1 hour at 128 Mbps ! Change of observing mode to 4IFsx8MHz, still dual pol: LOS 09/08/02 ! Change of observing mode to 8IFsx8MHz, now 1-bit only: LOS 15/01/03 ! Added different settings for barrel roll - go weekly! LOS 30/01/03 ! Modified to include more filters (4, 16) and 2-bit LOS 21/05/03 ! Corrected a typo in 9050 setup, and new PI information LOS 10/06/03 ! Changed scan order to have 2-bit not in between 1-bit LOS 11/06/03 ! Analysts request longer scans and gaps; 1.5 h ok/Dave LOS 24/06/03 ! Now MT326. Less readbacks for longer scans, esp 90/50 LOS 09/07/03 !---------------------------------------------------------------------- ! This is an older MARK5A version of the data quality check.
