Quality Check

After your data was taken, a quality script ran at the observatory inspecting your data and giving it a grade. The output of quality is normally also inspected by the resident observer(s). Once you have downloaded your data from the archive, it is important for you to first check that all the data that quality has reported, is actually also present in your dataset (most notably check the full timerange and all the sources reported). A few Miriad programs are available for this, described in the next section, though in theory you could also run quality yourself. Directions for running quality are located in the Observer Help Pages.

You should be able to find your quality output from the CARMA webpage6.2by going to ``Observing with CARMA'' and following ``Obtaining and reducing your data'' to ``Quality output''. Copy the output into your directory and inspect it.
