Resources

The previous section showed how new targets with (still empty) Field Source, Instrument Setup and Observing Parameters folders are added to the SBs. Specifying the Resources for the Targets can be done in two ways:
  1. Filling out the forms that become visible in the Forms tab of the Editors pane when selecting them in the Field Source , Instrument Setup and Observing Parameters folders.
  2. Using the Visual Editors in the Editor pane. The Spatial tab in the Editors pane gives the Visual Spatial Editor. Using this editor you can specify the Field Source parameters, including the observing field specifications and the source properties.
    The Visual Spectral Editor is available via the Spectral tab and can be used to specify the Instrumental Setup, e.g. the receiver setup, the position of the lower and upper sidebands and correlator configurations, as well as the frequency specifications for the basebands. The Visual Spectral Editor also offers the possibility of optimising the receiver frequency settings.

This section deals with entering the Observing Parameters using the Forms editor. After having completed the Resources forms, Section  8.5 shows how to attach these to a Target.
