1) Questions and Answers on SMA data reduction in Miriad
*2012-September includes the Q & A of this month that may be relevant to other users.2) Merging SMA components with general Miriad distribution & Handling large size SMA data files
SMA got the lastest version 4.3.4 from Miriad general distribution. The merging is on the way.
Two large data sets have been produced from SMA testing runs: 120505_02:52:05 integration 1.3 sec # of int 13983 # of bsln 28 # of chan 6145 # of rx 1 size 20 Gbytes 120813_03:37:15 integration 1.3 sec # of int 48536 # of bsln 10 # of chan 6145 # of rx 2 size 50 Gbytes*Discussed the large-data handling in Miriad.
