All data was collected in single-feed fringe tracking using the VLTI instrument PACMAN operating the PRIMA fringe sensor units (FSU). One of the purposes of these observations was to test, debug and characterize the behavior of the fringe sensor units (FSUs). At the same time, the instrument was operated with the objective of testing hardware, software and its interactions with the rest of the VLTI infrastructure.</p> <p>From COMM1 to COMM6, observations were done using the auxiliary telescopes in different baselines and instrument configurations. During the UTs technical night, UT3-UT4 baseline was used. A proportion of the files are calibrations, namely, laboratory darks and flats fields, sky background and sky flats fields. The rest are fringe tracking observations. The targets include many bright (Kmag 5) and totally resolved sources. There is some small proportion of observations done on fainter stars or partially resolved stars. The fits header contains the target name for reference.</p> <p>This data is currently being used by the instrument team to establish the working range of the fringe sensor of PRIMA.</p> <p>Information on the status of the instrument during the observations can be obtained from the commissioning team, which can be contacted via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210303073012/mailto:rabuter@eso.org">R.
