General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
The X band NME experiment N12X2 was performed on 24 May 2012. The experiment used 10 stations. Ef and Ys was used as the reference station in the pipelining data reduction. J0927+3902and DA193 were the bandpasss calibrator.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.69 . ERI* = 0.69 . (Ef=0.68, Wb=1, Mc=1, On=1, Nt=1, Ys=0.76, Bd=0.84, Zc=0.13, Sv=0.97, Ur=1).

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-* 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.

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 Ef-* baselines, calibrated with CL3.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Ef-* 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.
