General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
EP068D had 12 stations, 8 x 16 MHz IF, 2 polarizations, and was correlated in 5 correlation runs for 5 different phase-centers (Arp299A, Arp299B, Arp299C, Arp299C2 and Arp299D) having 32 frequency points per IF/pol, with 2s integrations. In the pipelining, the target source was treated as a phase-referenced source and not directly fringed. The SOLINT was automatically set at 1.431 min. Wb was used as the reference station. The target sources 'Arp299...' were calibrated using the phase-reference source 'J1128+5925'. The fringe-finder and bandpass calibrator was 4C39.25.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.701 . ERI* = 0.785 . Losses: Ef -- at wrong frequency due to setup error; Mc -- failure; Sh -- did not observe; Ro -- about 2 hrs lost to low quality data; Sv -- left pol of IF7; Zc -- left pol of IF2; Tr -- left pol of IF5 and 6 (due to bad BBC).

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

plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.
Full-experiment for Wb-* baselines, no calibration applied. A 2-minute plot-averaging was used.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged 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.
FRING_PHAS 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.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against time (a priori amplitude calibration and fringe-fit solutions applied).
Comments.
Full-experiment for Wb-* baselines, calibrated with CL3. The 2-min plot-averaging still applied.

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