Basic Validation

The first and most basic level of validation is run automatically asyou build up your observing project. In filling out the various forms,if any parameter for your observing project contains a non-permittedvalue, this value will either turn red or a pop-up window willappear. The pop-up window provides the user with information why theinput is wrong and gives suggestions how to fix the problem. Examplesare non-numerical input for the source velocity, a negative frequency,a too large bandwidth or a target at a non-accessible declination.
