Phase 2 Scheduling Blocks

This chapter describes how a Phase 2 programme is created by constructing Scheduling Blocks in the OT directly, i.e. without the intermediate step of creating one or more Science Goals first. As already mentioned in Chapter  7 , by building SBs directly the user has more control over the telescope configuration and observing strategies and can specify in detail how the instrument will be setup for the execution of a scientific project. It is meant for experienced users mainly.

Spatial and spectral details can also be provided via the OT Visual Editors. In the following Chapters  9 and  10 the Visual Spatial and Spectral Editors will be discussed.
