... AUTOTAPE is an obsolete parameter that only applied to tape. ... AUTOTAPE is used to request that automatic tape allocation and control be used at stations that use the VLBA control system and have more than one tape drive. ... AUTOTAPE>=2 also activates automatic reversal of the tapes when the low tape mark is reached, even in the middle of scans; with AUTOTAPE=1 the tape will stop at the low tape point and wait for the next scan. ... For Mark II, AUTOTAPE requests automatic tape changes. ...

The determination of the detector parameters is based on sets of images of a spatially uniform-illumination scene (flatfield frames) and without any illumination (dark frames), putting a plug in place of the filter, taken at a series of exposure times. ... We interleave before and after each exposure time in the series of flatfield frames a set of reference images at an exposure time of 1 sec to determine the possible temporal variation of the illumination level. ...

Next: The Optopus session Up: Using the Optopus Previous: Using the Optopus . The commands in the Optopus package have to initialised by setting the Optopus context with the MIDAS command SET/CONTEXT OPTOPUS . ... Since almost all commands in the package work, both in input and in output, on MIDAS tables, another important task of the user at the start of an Optopus session will be to create a MIDAS table from the ASCII file where the data about the objects to be observed are being kept. ...

Changing a World . What did the students learn from all this? ... The students found this unsatisfactory -- some of them would not be able to fit another astronomy class into their schedules, but they wanted to know about our planetary neighbors, and this project gave them the opportunity to find out without spending valuable class time on the subject. ... The students also learned to learn for themselves, perhaps one of the most important milestones during formal education. ...

... Data . ... DD Time . ... The normal data-taking commanding of the FOS did not require FOS exposures to start at precise pre-selected start times, and there was no direct record in any telemetry of when an exposure actually started. The engineering telemetry did record the so-called LINESTART time; that is, the precise time when the SDF told the FOS to commence sending data from the FOS memory to the SDF. ... Absolute timings from engineering telemetry are late by 0.001-0.255 sec. ...
