General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
EG049D was observed in C-band on 2012 March 13, had 13 stations Jb Wb Ef On Mc Tr Ys Sv Zc Bd Ur Sh Hh and observed at a datarate of 1 Gbps. Ef was used as the reference station.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.85 (Jb=1 Wb=1 Ef=1 On=1 Mc=1 Tr=1 Ys=1 Sv=1 Zc=1 Bd=1 Ur=0 Sh=1 Hh=1) . ERI* = 0.85 .

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations. Stations that show RFI: JB (RR:IF3,IF4,IF5,IF6,IF7; LL:IF1,IF2,IF3,IF4,IF7), Sv (LL:IF5),Bd (RR:IF4)

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

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

The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand correlations against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged Ef-* baselines for LR, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet.

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. 0234+285 was used for bandpass calibration.

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

Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Ef-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1. The amp and phaseplots self-scale, not necessarily going down to 0 in the case of the amps.
