Spectral Scan

It is possible to define a complicated setup involving multiple tunings that are meant to cover a contiguous range in frequency using the spectral scan interface. Given a start and stop frequency, and a correlator mode, the OT will devise a set of tunings that achieve the requested frequency range.

Once enough information has been added, the OT will calculate a tuning setup and display the derived spectral windows. Spectral scans are only allowed of sources with a single offset pointing and only a single 12-m configuration is allowed (no ACA).
