Targets
After having created a Scheduling Block, the
Targets
and
Resources
folders can be populated. This can be done in any arbitrary order. First create one or more empty Targets and create and fill the FieldSource, SpectralSetup and Observing Parameters forms. Alternatively, one can first specify FieldSources, SpectralSetups and ObservingParameters (again in any arbitrary order) and then create a Target in the
Target
folder. What is crucial though is that a Target is only valid when it has an attached FieldSource, a SpectralSetup and one or more attached Observing Parameters.
Normally, for science observations, the
Target
folder is populated with at least one observing (science) Target and one more calibration Targets. In addition to the science and calibration Targets, SBs can also contain Targets for optical pointing and for holography.
Figure 8.4:
A Project Structure that contains one SB. The
Target
folder contains one science Target and 2 calibration Targets. In the
Target
folder the calibration Target NRAO530 is selected and its attached forms are highlighted. The figure shows that the calibration Target is used for pointing and focus calibrations.
