... OPMINSEP is the parameter for OPTMODE=HAS that is used to prevent two scans on the same source from being scheduled too close together. SCHED determines the default spacing of scans -- evenly spaced across the available time -- regardless of whether the user overrides that default by specifying the desired hour angles. That default spacing is multiplied by OPMINSEP to get the minimum separation. ... Default: 0.0 which means don't have a minimum separation. ... Example: OPMINSEP = 0.4 . ...
