Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... This routine is designed to read in the current correlator set-up, go to the chosen source, and then take data pointing directly at the source. This routine will automatically wait until you are on source before beginning to take data. ... Additionally, this routine allows you to take an ON/OFF calibration pair (one 10s scan with the noise diode on, followed by a 10s scan with the diode off), using the chosen noise diode configuration (see Section 1.6 ). ...
