In the JIVE basement a two week period of intensive testing has been concluded. These tests focused in getting all software and hardware to work in an integrated fashion.
Progress is measured by meeting certain milestones.
After finding a couple of problems here and there during the previous week, it turned out that we entered this week only a single minus sign away from success. FR002 is a test experiment conducted on June 4, with 7 EVN stations participating. On the next day we were able to obtain fringes to Noto as well. This is important progress as Noto produces VLBA data with modulation applied. The processing of different experiments in different observing modes is now automated, with the Central Correlator Computer software reading the experiment schedule in VEX format.
