Attached are plots of all phase closure triangles which include antenna 2. One set of plots shows the phase closure when the pseudo-continuum was calculated using the portion of the Legacy Correlator which overlapped in frequency with the SWARM Correlator (Legacy Correlator chunks s37 through s48). The second set of plots shows the phase closure when the pseudo-continuum was calculated from the SWARM data. As you can see, all the triangles close to 0 when calculated from the Legacy Correlator data, and none of them do when calculated from the SWARM data. I think this means that there is a baseline-based phase error in the SWARM data. The signal/noise on the SWARM plots is also much higher. Taco
