Observational Setup
Bring CLEO up to monitor various parameters. > cleo
2. Configuration
Use glish scripts to setup the system. These files are located at /home/groups/ptcs/obs/setup/. The following csh scripts will source the appropriate files and execute the glish scripts. > /home/groups/ptcs/bin/pntX # X-band > /home/groups/ptcs/bin/pntC # C-band Alternatively, > source /home/gbt/gbt.csh > glish -l /home/groups/ptcs/obs/setup/setup_pntX.g # X-band > glish -l /home/groups/ptcs/obs/setup/setup_pntC.g # C-bandNote: do not run these scripts in the GO glish session.
3. GBT Observe (GO)
Start the GBT Observing interface (GO). This can be performed by running the following csh script. > /home/groups/ptcs/bin/runGO Alternatively, > source /home/gbt/gbt.csh > GO Load the following tables using the GO Table panel. /home/groups/ptcs/obs/setup/pntX.obs # X-band /home/groups/ptcs/obs/setup/pntC.obs # C-band The table is divided into a section called "Configuration" and a section called "Observing". In the configuration section a series of data blocks are defined that setup varius GO parameters. Run these blocks. For example, in the X-band table select the following lines and hit Run. # Initial setups setsc setx setcont xpeak xfocus Now you are ready to observe. In the observing section of the table select the appropriate lines and hit Run.
4. IARDS
For now use IARDS to reduce pointing and focus data. > iards
