! ================================================================ ! Preferred Dynamic Constraints. 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 ! r o o o o o o o r r ! Minimum number of stations [9 (6 for 3mm)]: ! May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? [yes]: no ! Consult http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~lsjouwer/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 ! d ! 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]: ! * Once between 25 May 2008 and 22 June 2008, with preference ! for date closer to the center of this range (8 June 2008) ! * Twice near 9 December 2008, with preference for ! observations spaced a week or two on either side of this date ! * Once between 25 May 2009 and 22 June 2009, with preference ! for date closer to the center of this range (8 June 2009) ! Excluded dates plus reason [none]: ! * Dates much outside these interval, in order to obtain ! parallax and proper motion measurements ! Preferred interval between segments in days [none]: ! * 4 total observations spaced at times ! 0, 6-epsilon, 6+epsilon, and 12 months ! where time tolerances and epsilon are < 2 weeks ! Special conditions (e.g., a series with different ! spacings in time) [none]: ! * yes, see above ! ================================================================ ! ! ! ========================================================== ! ================= Cover Information ==================== ! ========================================================== !
