! egglobalOH --- Example of global OH observations. ! Uses RDBE, DBBC, and MarkIV systems. ! Uses Doppler calculations. ! Code eggl_oh ! Adapted from egiv.key, and example for Mark IV observations ! Originally it was an example to produce a Vex file when ! that was only needed for non-VLBA stations. ! Original by Huib vanLangevelde 5-Feb-1997. ! Cover letter added by RCW 11-Apr-2000. ! Convert to RDBE/DBBC Nov 27, 2013. ! This is mainly a global spectral line example now. ! ==================================================== ! ====== Cover information and program control ====== ! ==================================================== !

Cover letter ! coverlet / Any text can be written here. It will be written to the summary file and the operator schedules. This would be a good place to put complicated instructions that cannot fit in the notes above. This is mainly useful for stations where some items have to be controlled by hand (pcal, tsys measurements, special frequencies or wiring etc). For the fully automated stations like the VLBA, the operators don't tend to read any such notes. endcover / ! =============================================== ! =========== External catalogs =============== ! =============================================== !

This example used to use oversampling, but that is ! not well supported in the new systems to my knowledge. ! The DBBC also has a minimum bandwidth of 1 MHz so use that. ! It used to be 500 kHz in egiv.key ! The 1 MHz filters are not available at all MARKIV stations ! so there will be some warnings issued which we will ignore ! for now. setinit = egiv.set / ! GM31, 500 kHz oversampled and 2 bit for line sensitivity ! Both OH main lines. Also conform to the tuning restrictions ! for the various systems. A frequency must be a multipls ! of 250 kHz to work on all systems. Hence the choice of the ! reference frequency and the DOPINCR later. ! Lower the samprate Dec. 22, 2013.
