The software ASTRO has been updated to reflect these
receiver/correlator setup possibilities. Astronomers are urged to
download the most recent version of GILDAS at ../IRAMFR/GILDAS/
to prepare their proposals.
The previous LINE command has been replaced by several new commands (see internal help; the following description applies to the current receiver system). The behavior of the LINE command can be changed by the SET PDBI 1995|2000|2006 command, that selects the PdBI frontend/backend status corresponding to years 1995 (old receivers, 500 MHz bandwidth), 2000 (580 MHz bandwidth), 2006 (new receivers and new IF processor, 1GHz bandwidth). Default is 2006:
