Abstract :
In this paper, the continuum flux observing system of the Kunming 40-m radio telescope is introduced. The system stability and RFI conditions are the main problems for weak source measurements. New devices are developed to improve the telescope performance. As a test to the telescope system, a pilot intra-day variability study is performed.
