Control
The
Control
panel provides the execution control limits, in terms of items like the maximum time allowed, the user and TAC priorities etc.
Figure 6.4:
The
Control
panel of the Scheduling Block form
|
-
Maximum Time
: This is the sum of allowed execution times for all parts of this SchedBlock. This will be = repeatCount*SBMaximumTime;
-
Execution Time
: This is the estimated actual execution time as calculated by the OT.
-
Array Type
: The array configuration to be used. Options are the 12-m Array, the ACA, the 7-m Array and the Total Power Array.
In the next subpanel the following fields are currently not used:
-
User Priority
: This is assigned by the user to this SchedBlock. Perhaps it should be associated only with Scheduling Blocks rather than with (additionally) OUS, but applying to the latter might provide a convenience for recursion.
-
TAC Priority
: Priority of this SB as set by the TAC. Perhaps should only apply to SBs, but at the OUS level might provide a convenient mechanism for recursion.
-
Pointing Accuracy
:The desired pointing accuracy as the outcome of this calibration.
-
Bandpass Accuracy
: The bandpass calibration must be to this level - deviation from the mean, expressed as a fraction.
-
Polarization Accuracy
:Polarisation must be calibrated to this level - probably expressed as a fraction.
