--------------------------------

19:00 : Started set up.
19:18 : Started scan on 3C48.
19:39 : Stopped scan.
19:42 : Started scan on phase cal 0116-208 for 10 min because source was not rise.
19:52 : Stopped scan and stared command file.
 '/odisk/gtac/cmd/ruta/33_030/33_030_16-17nov_cmd'
Note : Scan No. 8 having less record.Because of online problem, stopped scan on target before 3-4 min. 
21:05 : C14 ABC time out. 
Note : scan No 10 and 11 are bad because of wrong tpa value in GSB only not in GWB.
23:45 : Stopped command file and started scan on phase cal for 5 mins.
00:20 : Observed 10 mins each for 3C48 and 3C147.
00:20 : Closed observation session.
