For cm observations, you need to ensure that you observe 1934638 at some point in your observation session for flux calibration. This is usually done either at the start or end of your observations.
In general it will be useful for you to create a calibration schedule containing 1934638 (and other calibrators if they are needed) which is separate from your standard observation schedule file and is just used for your calibration.
For higher frequencies (3mm), the calibration situation is more complex:
There are no standard sources to CACAL on. Use
http://www.narrabri.atnf.csiro.au/calibrators/ to pick a calibrator that is
strong at your observing frequency. Consult with the DA or local staff for
information on the best way to calibrate your data.
Track a strong compact source. | Preferably 1934638, as this is required for flux calibration. | |||
E.g., | ||||
CAOBS> set file cnnn_1934 | Sched file containing 1934638. (filename extension not required). | |||
CAOBS> track 1 | ||||
CHECK the configuration field displays the desired correlator configuration. | Look in the CACOR gui on PERICLES. |
