Calibration Setup
Figure 5.8:
The Science Goal Calibration Setup Forms editor.
|
In this Forms editor, the user can specify how to calibrate the data. Almost all proposals should request ``system-defined'' - the observatory will ensure that suitable calibrators are observed. The available choices are:
- System-defined calibration: The system will decide on the calibrators and the calibration strategy.
- User-defined calibration: When checked, the calibration table is enabled with the following buttons:
- Add Dynamic Calibrator...: Set some constraints that will be used to dynamically select a suitable source at SB execution time.
- Add Fixed Calibrator...: Choose a specific calibrator source.
- Delete Selected Calibration: Delete a selected row in the calibration table.
In the table with the Calibration types, use the Edit Criteria... button to edit the search criteria to be used for the calibration selection. It is STRONGLY suggested to choose system-defined calibration!
