sanity check should plot scan tracks of more than one antennas #94

At the moment, the sanity check plug-in takes a reference_receiver_index parameter, which is basically the antenna/dish number, e.g. reference_receiver_index=0 refers to m001. Only the scan tracks of this antenna is plotted, but sometimes this antenna turns out to be a strangler, or something happened, showing an incomplete scan track. Below is an example from 1720370484 plot_sanity_check_observation_0 plot_sanity_check_observation_2

Thus, the sanity check should ideally plot scan tracks of more than one antennas for this reason.

I agree. Perhaps we could plot the median instead? If the majority of dishes are behaving as expected the median would give the correct path.

@mariogrs I think plotting the median is a good idea for the first plot. For the zoom in, we don't necessarily need to see the shape of the HRS track right since it is already appear in the first plot. Instead of that, I think it will be more useful to plot the rms around the median as a function of time for the scan-only tracks.
