How to Finish Observations

Before completing your observations remember that you might want to have your last scan be a calibrator scan. This means the calibration algorithms can interpolate between calibrators rather than extrapolate the calibration out to the last few minutes of source observations. Also, you should observe 1934-638 if you haven't done that at the beginning of your run.



To stop observing, perform the following steps:



 CAOBS$>$stop     
 CAOBS$>$corr close[file]     
 CAOBS$>$stow  Or send the antennas to 1934-638 if available and someone else is observing after you.
