Abstract
The primary objective for the second APP CSV campaign was to test and characterize the phasing system, including the recent changes in the handling of the front-end delays. Secondary goals were to repeat the local VLBI test between ALMA and an antenna at the Operations Support Facility (OSF) (also attempted during the January mission) and to obtain a short VLBI recording on a calibrator source with ALMA and one or more stations operating as part of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) network, thus allowing demonstration of an intercontinental VLBI fringe. This is a report of the week's activities.
Description
This report was prepared to report on APP commissioning progress, provided as ALMA Technical Note #17.
