The Phase 1 Observing Proposal
This chapter guides you through the steps that you need to take tocreate a Phase 1 proposal. To follow the descriptions given in thischapter, it is recommended that you have an open OT session in frontof you at the time of reading it.
In principle there are a number of possibilities to start work on a Phase 1 observing proposal:
-
Start with a complete new project using
File
New Proposal
.
-
Load an existing and possibly incomplete Phase 1 proposal by opening the content of an ALMA OT project file (
File
Open Project
From File...
, see Section
11.1
).
-
To retrieve a project from the ALMA Archive using
File
Open Project
from ALMA Archive...
. Obviously, this option requires a network connection to the ALMA Archive and permissions to read from the Archive.
-
To open the ALMA Standard Library via
File
Show ALMA Template Library
and use the Phase 1 information of an available project template.
-
To open a locally available project and show this as a template via
File
Use Project as Template
and use the Phase 1 information of this project.
When loading Phase 1 information, either locally or from the ALMAArchive, dialogue boxes will appear that warn about possibleoverwriting of an existing project and to select the project file tobe read.
