Model the calibration solutions #8

Open robotopia opened 2 years ago

robotopia commented 2 years ago

Develop tools to model the calibration solutions, with a view to building up a database of calibration models that can be used to explore the stability of the MWA

Still useful/relevant to VCSBeam? Or does this sort of belong as a hyperbeam utility?

robotopia commented 3 months ago

Either hyperbeam or something to be offloaded to the MWA ops team generally, but you're right: this is definitely out of scope for VCSBeam. I'm officially out of the game on this issue, so I leave it to you, @bwmeyers, to find a new home for this issue, if you feel it's worth it, and then I'm happy to remove it from here.

I know that the idea is the ops team will have a server (calvin) that does online/real-time/on-site calibration for MWAX, and my understanding is that it's nearly mature. Not exactly the same issue, but it does seem like a hyperbeam capability, albeit a bit niche? For now, let's leave this open, but I'll tag it appropriately.
