ALMA Use Case development
Draft Use Cases that will act as guidelines for developing software Test Cases and Testing plans.  

These Use Cases are based on the SSR Use Cases (UCs) defined in SSR Memo 11. They represent detailed scenarios developed to aid in testing design and implementation of software subsystems to support the specific case described. They should not be considered a replacement of the UCs in the SSR Memo 11.

Guidelines:

Observatory Modes - by Deb Shepherd:

ATF.obs.modes.doc   26aug05 - A list of all Obs Modes expected to be run at the ATF. A full description of the Optical Pointing inputs needed in the OT is available in this version. DRAFT inputs for the other Obs Modes are included but need work. Modes include:
   +   Optical Pointing
   +   Radiometric Pointing
   +   Baseline Determination
   +   Tower Holography
   +   Sky Dip
   +   Obs TP (Field Observations in Total Power Mode)
   +   OTF map TP (one-the-fly mapping in Total Power mode)

ATF.obs.modes.pdf   26aug05 - pdf version of the above document.
