Spectral Setup

The Spectral Setup node contains fields to specify the frequenciesthat you wish to observe. The form consists of three panels, one todefine which kind of spectral setup is required e.g. continuum orspectral line, a second panel that changes depending on the firstchoice where you input the spectral information, and a panel forreporting errors. An illustration of the panel is shown inFigure  6.8 . Please note that for Cycle 0 of Early Science, only bands 3, 6, 7 and 9 are available!

In the upper part of the form the Spectral Type can bechosen. For Cycle 0 of Early Science, the choice is between Up to 4 spectral elements and Single continuum ; More than 4 spectral elements and Spectral scan are not currentlyavailable. For each of the spectral types, the number of polarizationproducts needs to be selected. The choices are SINGLE_X and DUAL ; the default is DUAL as this givesthe highest sensitivity. Single polarization should only be requestedif the very highest spectral resolution is desired.
