In the SpectralSpec form, the parameters needed to define a spectral specification and the correlator or the square law detector setup should be filled in. To create the SpectralSpecform select the
Instrumental Setup
folder in the
Resources
folder. Via

,

or
Edit
Add Spectral Spec with Square law detector
you can add one of the two correlator configurations or the square law detector. Alternatively, you can right click and select
Add ...
from the pop-up menu.
If you wish to use square law detectors together with BL or ACA correlators, i.e. to set up a hybrid mode observation, add a spectral spec with BL correlator configurations (or ACA) and then check the Total power with square law detectors check box in the Spectral Spec panel in the SpectralSpec form editor.
When selecting the newly-created SpectralSpec, the empty spectral specification form is displayed in the Editors pane. First, select either the Forms or the Spectral tab of the Editor pane and make sure to extend the Editors pane or to scroll so that the Spectral Spec and either Correlator Configuration or Square law Setup panels of the SpectralSpec form are completely visible as displayed in Figure 8.9 . If the Spectral tab is selected, the Visual Spectral Editor is enabled (see Chapter 10 ).
