Check

1. After the start of observations (cat1, b6) check diodes at 6cm receiver panel. They should shine according to the entry in the 6back.obs file:

P011 0
P021 5  :  column 2, switch S5 on
P031 7  :  column 3, switch S7 on
p041 57 :  column 4, switches S5 and S7 on

2. Check phases on the polarimeter panel. Switch int/ext, on display upper: rectangle signal, below: should be stright line. Digital meters: numbers should be similar and changing a bit (real output from all polarimeter channels).

3. After mapping of the amplitude calibrator (3c286 above) check gain factors and polarymeter.
