! Example SCHED input for spectral line observations on the VLBA.
!
! This example is for observing multiple OH transitions with
! 250 kHz per transition and dual polarization.
!
! From akemball 14aug95 - designed to show use of sched parameters for
! a line project; *not* designed to show an observing strategy.
!
! Tweaked by jwrobel 14aug95 and cwalker dec95, 30apr96, 20may96

  ! filter bandwidths of 1 MHz, the minimum for the RDBE.

  ! In the pre-RDBE version, oversampling is requested as SCHED 
  ! would note while processing.  But I had to drop that with the RDBE.
  ! For the RDBE, set the bandwidth at 1.0 and set the CORCHAN
  ! to 1024 (up from 256) to give the required resolution.  Spectral
  ! zoom mode could be used but is not specified here.
