Date:     June 8, 2012 (Friday)
Time:     15:00 to 16:00 EDT
Location: Concord ave 160, 2nd Floor (M-240)

Agenda:

1) Questions and Answers on SMA data reduction in Miriad

2) New release beta 1.4.4

• new task: SmaCatool - reads calibrator catalogs and plots the various curves, exported to $MIRSRC/prog/sma
• new variable: tau0 (CSO tau at 225 GHz) - accommodated in SMA Miriad files
• updated task: SmaFix - increases the maximum number of tracked sources to 100
• updated task: SmaVarplt - plot tau0
• SMA catalog: CalPolFlux.cat - exported to $MIRCAT
• Software Limits (SmaLod): Add a write status in screen report, giving a warning message for surpassing software limit
• Note to 1.4.4: The new release is only tested for binray installation on RH (centOS) 6. We are still working on the binary installation
  for RH (centOS) 5 and FC 9/higher, as well as Ubundu OS.

3) Development on web GUI for Miriad calibrator catalogs

4) Support new SMA correlator

• Support handling large size data files (> 3.7 GBytes)
• Review software/hardware limits
- Old Standard: SMA Software Limits
- Current Double Band: a maximum number of spectral chunks = 49 per sideband, with a size limit of 17.2 Gbytes
- New SMA Correlator: Limits
