! Example sched input for a global VLBI observation. ! This is for the legacy Mark5A system, not the new wideband ! systems. MARK5A recordings are no longer possible on the VLBA ! this file needs to be updated. ! ! VLA removed - no legacy capability and the setups violate ! the constraints of the WIDAR phased array setup. Nov. 1, 2012. RCW. ! ! EB_VLBA changed to EFLSBERG Nov. 13, 2013. RCW. EB_VLBA has the ! RDBE_DDC tuning constraints and this is an old systems schedule ! with a .49 MHz tuning point. The DBBC can do it. ! ========================================================== ! ================= Cover Information ==================== ! ========================================================== ! version = 1 expt = 'Global VLBI observations' expcode = ge001 piname = 'Craig Walker' address1 = 'National Radio Astronomy Observatory' address2 = 'P.
