General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
EB040A had one line pass with 9 Telescopes, 1 band X 2 pols, each with 1024 points, 1 sec integration time and recirculation x 4. More information is included in the experiment's cover letter on the standard-plots portion of the EVN Archive. The SOLINT was set to the representative scan length for the phase-reference source.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.977 . ERI* = 0.977 . The ERI was 0.977. Noto was in the wrong recording mode for the first ~ 1 hr at the start of the experiment.

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations.

plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.
Full-experiment for Ef-* & Wb-* baselines, no calibration applied.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged Ef-* & Wb-* baselines, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet.

The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand correlations against frequency channel (not available)
Comments.

TSYS against time
Comments.
TY1 table, each IF/pol on a separate plot.

Telescope sensitivities from the a priori TSYS and Gain curves (the square of this number gives the antenna noise (SEFD) in Jy - the smaller the better).
Comments.
Gain amplitude from CL2 table.

Fringe-fit phase solutions (including Parallactic Angle correction).
Comments.
CL3 station phase solutions -- CL3 = CL2+SN2, thus also includes the initial amplitude/parallactic angle calibration from CL2 and the fringe solutions from SN2.

Fringe-fit delay solutions
Comments.
SN2 station delay solutions for the fringed sources, each IF/pol on a separate plot.

Fringe-fit rate solutions
Comments.
SN2 station rate solutions.

Telescope bandpasses
Comments.
Bandpass table 1. 3C286 and 3C345 were used for bandpass calibration.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against time (a priori amplitude calibration and fringe-fit solutions applied).
Comments.
Full-experiment for Ef-* & Wb-* baselines, calibrated with CL3.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Ef-* & Wb-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1.
