15. GSB Mode : Realtime
16. GSB LTA : 8
17. GSB CTRL : ONLINE
18. GSB Fstop : ON
19. GAIN EQ : ON
20. Stokes : Total_Intensity
21. Beam - 1 : OFF
22. Beam - 2 : OFF
23. ACQ BW : 16.666666 MHz
24. Final BW : 0 MHz; Step # 0
25. Maximum Channels : 512
26. Channel Numbers : 0:511:1
27. LO5 -1  : 138
28. LO5 -2  : 167

29. Frequency Parameters (TPA) : 1387 1387 1325 1325 62 62
30. Integration Time : 16.1061 Sec
31. No of Antennas Working(Fringing) at the beginning :27

32. Name of Non-Working Antennas (with reason for each) :
C02 : No Fringe.
W03 : FPS problem.
W04 : Servo problem.

33. Note for Backup :Only 1MHz difference in line frequency, so both observations setup are same. Due to this taken same flux cal at both LTA files.

35. ONLINE Machine : Shivneri

36. No of Antennas Working(Fringing) at the end :28
