Summary List of Setup File Parameters

A list of the setup parameters is given below, followed by detailed information on each setup paramater in Section 3.6.4. All of the parameters revert to the previous value if not specified for a station. This allows most to be specified only once per setup file. Some of the more difficult parameters, such as track assignments and pulse cal configurations have defaults in SCHED that should nearly always be used. There needs to be a separate group for each station, but after the first, the group may only contain the station name. The generic station ``VLBA'' can be used for all VLBA stations. If it is desired to specify one VLBA station differently from the the rest, that specific station (eg ``VLBA_PT'') should be given before the generic ``VLBA'' station. All parameters can have different values for different stations.

Note that the VLBA uses the concept of baseband channels. Many of the parameters take an array of arguments, one for each baseband channel. The corresponding elements of the arrays specify the required information for the baseband channel, such as the BBC from which the signal will come, the VLBA IF that BBC is attched to, the bandwidth of the BBC, and the frequency of the BBC. There is nothing to prevent more than one baseband channel from being assigned to one BBC/sideband. In such cases, care should be taken to insure that the same frequency, bandwidth, and input VLBA IF are assigned for each such baseband channel. If this is not done, the on-line system can get confused about what signal is in each baseband channel.
