• ALMA near-field holography article: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007IAPM...49...24B/abstract o All the details of the software and hardware implementation of the ALMA near-field holography system. Includes a detailed description of the near-field correction used.
• alma-holomemo.pdf: Near Field Radio Holography of the ALMA Prototype Antennas (attached): Memo included in the documentation supporting the results from the evaluation of the ALMA prototype antennas. Much of the material in this memo was included in the published holography article I have already pointed you to, but also includes some details regarding the panel/adjuster layout and numbering.
• ALMAholo_utils.txt: This is the file used to do a number of things in the CLIC ALMA holography data analysis software, including noting the locations of BUS sectors and panels. Unfortunately all of these things are calculated rather than being in the form of a static listing, but I suspect that you can figure out how to translate this gildas scripting language into python.
