General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
M band Network Monitoring Experiment, observed on 13 June 2008. 9 stations participated. Two different recording modes were used:
N08M2_1_1 is a similar mode to user experiments GB064A-D : (2 X 16 MHz subbands, dual polarization, two bit sampling)
Observed sources: "DA193"as a fringe finder, "4C39.25" as a phase calibrator and "J0916+3854" as a target source. Duration = 2 hours

N08M2_2_1 is a 5cm OH setup ((8 X 16 MHz subbands, dual polarization, two-bit sampling)
Sources: "3C273" as fringe finder and phase calibrator and "1222+037" as a target source. Duration=2 hours 45 minutes

This is the pipeline for N08M2_1_1

Cm did not produce fringes in N08M2_1_1.
WX is codename for the Westerbork Mark5B recorder and was not used in the correlation.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.84 . ERI* = 0.84 . (For this part of the experiment only - CM=0.0, JB=1.0, EF=1.0, ON=1.0, MC=1.0, NT=0.6, TR=1.0, HH=1.0, WB=1.0)
