Two observing runs have been undertaken at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) using the radial velocity spectrometer (RVS). About 800 observations have been performed with both the K and F masks. All cross-correlation profiles have been divided by the corresponding flux monitor records and full gaussian functions have been fitted in order to determine the profile centers. A number of IAU standard radial velocity stars have been observed, with a typical internal precision for a given star of about 100 m s−1, which is a factor of two or three better than the usually adopted value for the RVS. Zero-point offsets between these observations and the standard values were also investigated.
