LOFAR 2.22.1 (Sep 15th, 2017)

  • Ingest checks whether the disk is mounted when it cannot find a file.

LOFAR 2.22 (Sep 11th, 2017)

Instructions

  • An attempt has been made to make swlevel more robust against failing RSP boards. If a RSP-image cannot be loaded onto an RSP board, swlevel will execute a 48V reset and retry the load. It will do so twice. This may lead to longer startup times for the MAC software on a station, but at least gives more guarantees to end up with a properly functioning station.

General

  • The Irish station IE613 has been added as a LOFAR station to the software.

MoM (deployed 10 Aug 2017)

  • #11028: Implement new resource Type Triggers in MoM
  • #11130: Make priority and allowtriggers visible in MoM GUI

SAS

  • #11197: Changes to XML Generator and pipelineControl to streamline SLURM parameter propagation.
  • Several bugfixes to Resource Assigner and Webscheduler.

MAC

  • #11022: Remove usleep and /sbin/pidof from swlevel
  • #11053: Fix memory leak in MAC GCF framework
  • #11074: Improve robustness of swlevel to hanging RSP boards part 2
  • #11110: Fixed a few Coordinates in StationInfo.dat and remove non-existing stations from the list
  • #11112: SoftwareMonitor: Give more starttime to TBB and RSP Driver before changing status

Cobalt

  • #5441: Cobalt can dump raw RSP data to disk (using parset override).
  • #11017: swlevel should not show old observations: lingering pid files are now ignored.
  • #11059: Improve COBALT loss logging
  • #11115: Add LBA_SPARSE_EVEN/ODD to COBALT delay calibration table.

Pipelines

  • #10805: Apply H5Parm files in ApplyCal
  • #10974: Let DPPP recognize the type of numbered steps
  • #11114: Gaincal discard stations in the calibration when DATA is not flagged but exactly 0.
