ASTRO

The software ASTRO has been updated to reflect these new receiver/correlator setup possibilities. Astronomers are urged to download the most recent version (February 2007 or later) of GILDAS at ../IRAMFR/GILDAS/ to prepare their proposals.

The old LINE command has been replaced by several new commands (see internal help):

• NGR_LINE: receiver tuning
• NARROW: selection of the narrow-band correlator inputs
• SPECTRAL: spectral correlator unit tuning
• PLOT: control of the plot parameters.

A typical session would be:

   ! choice of receiver tuning
   ngr_line xyz 230 lsb           

   ! choice of the correlator windows
   narrow Q1 Q3             

   ! correlator unit #1, on entry 1
   spectral 1  20 520 /narrow 1   

   ! correlator unit #2, on entry 1
   spectral 2 320 260 /narrow 1   

   ! correlator unit #3, on entry 2
   spectral 3  40 666 /narrow 2
