! EXAMPLE - spectral line observations.
overwrite

! Note added Jan. 17, 2013 - GBT needs pointing which isn't shown here.


! Nov. 1, 2012.  Use GBT instead of VLA which can no longer
! use the legacy system.  Eventually switch to RDBE/DDC and WIDAR.
! Also switch to 2 bit and removed tpmode.  RCW.

!  As a demonstration, the following is all that is needed
!  to get an equivalent setup to the above.  It is 
!  the same.  Note that both turn off the pulse calibration tones
!  which can mess up spectral line observations.

!  Neither setup uses the default 'format' because that would give a
!  speedup factor on correlation and the correlator output data
!  rate would be too high.  Note that the format can be forced
!  with either 'tpmode' or 'format'.
