Work Flow

This Chapter guides you through the following basic steps of reducing your CARMA data. Each step has a seperate Section devoted to it.

1. Get your data from the CARMA Data Archive
2. Organize your working directory tree
3. Inspect data logs and quality
4. Correct data for obvious errors (flagging, baselines, etc.)
5. Calibrate phases and amplitudes
6. Mapping and Deconvolution

The PI will normally have received an email with a ``CARMA track finished'' subject line. It will have attached the observing script and logfile, and it will remind you how to download the data from the CARMA data archive. This Chapter guides you through the steps of getting your data, inspecting the data quality, and calibration of the data. Some comments on mapping and Deconvolution (standard procedures in Miriad and covered in depth elsewhere) are in place as well.
