Enable Mid global pointing calibration and holography

Enable commissioning scientists to carry out observations with SKA-Mid to calibrate the global pointing model of the dishes and map their beams, and to extract the data to analyse offline. In the process it will mature our understanding and the implementation of the control system interfaces to acquire pointing data from the dishes, and the interfaces and procedures for extracting data products following a commissioning observation.

• The appropriate SDP data products from a series of reference pointing observations (pointing offsets with the the appropriate metadata, and possibly the raw visibilities too) can be extracted for offline analysis to construct a global pointing model.
• The SDP is capable of capturing visibility data with the appropriate metadata including pointing to be used for offline holography analysis with KatHolog, and the data sets can be extracted. (Note the offline analysis might require some post-processing to convert data formats.)
• Simulated data sets have been made available to test the SDP part of the global pointing calibration and holography observations (both TBC).
