! ================================================================ ! Preferred Dynamic Contraints. Alter [defaults] as desired. ! ================================================================ ! Equipment constraints: ! Stations. Below each station code, the "o" indicates an ! [optional] station that is to be used if it is available. ! Change "o" to "r" if the station is required or change ! "o" to "n" if the station is not to be used. ! SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK ! o o o o o o o o o o ! Minimum number of stations [9 (6 for 3mm)]: 6 ! May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? yes ! Consult http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~gtaylor/y1gotcha.html ! to decide. If you adopt the default, then both PT and ! VLA1 must be in the stations list in the keyin file. ! Bands and polarizations. Below each band code, insert "R" ! if the righthand polarization is to be used, "L" if the ! lefthand polarization is to be used, "d" if dual ! polarizations are to be used, or "o" if the band is in ! your setups but scheduling should not be constrained by ! its availability. ! 90cm 50cm 20cm 13cm 6cm 4cm 2cm 1cm 7mm 3mm ! o ! Weather constraints: ! [appropriate for bands marked "L", "R", or "d" above ! and for at least the minimum number of stations] ! Date constraints: ! Preferred date(s), usually a series start [none]: none ! Excluded dates plus reason [none]: none ! Preferred interval between segments in days [none]: 14 ! Special conditions (e.g., a series with different ! spacings in time) [none]: ! ================================================================ ! ! ! First of 4 epochs of observations. ! ! Note to scheduler: There are 4 essentially identical files in this ! programme, bg147d.key, bg147d.key, bg147d.key, and bg147d.key; only ! the experiment code changes. Individual observations need to be separated ! by no more than 4 weeks, preferably 2 weeks, because the maser spots ! are so variable it would be difficult to follow them otherwise. ! Thanks! Jack ! ! ! SCHED file for BG147d (dynamically scheduled) ! hacked from OH example file and other on-line examples ! ! memo to myself: ! (1) use 0.5s integration time to widen the fov allowing both HW2 and HW3 ! to be covered in staring mode, TAC recommendation ! (2) Proposed parameters: 8 Mhz BB, 2 BB channels, ! 2 bit recording, 512 spectral channels / BB, dual pol !
