- 8/29/19: expand SRDP pilot to include X-band (in addition to Ku-band and higher).
- 10/23/19: use the NM User Support Calendar to record vacations etc.
- 11/20/19: flag outlying A-config antennas in wrong configuration for SRDP purposes once we are in the "official" D-config (otherwise risk trying to calibrate resolved calibrators).
- 12/11/19: AoD review for non-problematic datasets is performed only at the final stage, before archiving. DAs should flag and rerun as they see fit beforehand (but should also feel free to set a dataset to "Ready for AOD" if they have any questions prior to that).
- 2/26/20: add informational note to qa_notes.html if flagging percentage >50%. Decision of SRDP Pass/fail for heavily flagged datasets is at the discretion of the AoD on a case-by-case basis.
- 5/27/20: On the deployment of 3.8.2 with the MS flagging fix, Drew will update the email sent to non-SRDP PIs to include a suggestion that they can try archive-new for their restores/downloads. The ability of non-staff users to download directly to AOC lustre will be discussed at the next SRDP-DMS meeting. We will attapet to ingest calibration files for datasets that can only be run manually due to memory issues (only ~10/yr).
- 8/26/20 For runs that fail the pipeline (both regular CIPL and SRDP), if the reason for a pipeline fail is clear, the email sent to the PI will state this. This is especially important in cases relating to setup (poor calibrator choice etc). For SRDP, if the reason for the pipeline failure is not clear, a short investigation will be performed and the results communicated in the email to the PI.
- 8/26/20 Plan for VLA imaging testing and implementation - at the end of November after VLASS 2.1 ends, try to send feedback to get any changes to the pipeline into a spring pipeline patch. Aim to start production when array moves to C-config (June 2021)
Ramp-up schedule
- 2020 Nov 20 (start of A-config): add C-band calibration to SRDP
- 2021 Jan 18: add Multiband calibration to SRDP (down to L-band, not including P-band).
- 2021 Mar 5 (start of D-config): begin testing imaging pipeline and workflows
- 2021 Jun 10 (start of C-config): add S-band calibration to SRDP
- 2021 Aug 15: begin running imaging as pilot on a small fraction of SRDP datasets
- 2022 Mar 4 (start of A-config): add L-band calibration to SRDP
