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 [7]: 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 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]: For night-time observations (since this is 90cm), observe April 1, 2005 or later. Excluded dates plus reason [none]: Preferred interval between segments in days [none]: Special conditions (e.g., a series with different spacings in time) [See the comments at the top.]: CORRELATION REQUESTS (Defaults in parentheses): Correlator (Required if recording): SOCORRO Correlator average time (2 sec): 1.050 sec. Alternate average time (for spacecraft). 0.000 sec. Spectral channels per baseband (16): 64 Number of antennas to be correlated: 10 Polarization (ON): ON Correlator weighting function (UNIFORM): UNIFORM Distribution tape (DAT): DAT Source positions from: STANDARD Shipping address for correlator output: Teddy Cheung MIT CSR, NE80-6083 77 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139 Correlator Notes: DERIVED INFORMATION FOR CORRELATION: Elapsed time for project: 11.70 hours. Total time in scheduled scans: 10.80 hours. Total time in recording scans: 10.80 hours. Total number of baseline hours: 539.19 (Recording scans only) Projected maximum data output rate from the correlator: 429.1 kbytes/sec if processed in one pass. Projected correlator output data set size: 7572.1 Mbytes NOTE: Above numbers assume the same correlator parameters are used for all data. NOTE: Output data set size large. Consider requesting high density tapes.
