Next: Dynamic Scheduling Up: Scan Times Previous: Dealing with Formatter Reconfigurations Contents . The nominal scan start time, if set using DWELL , is the time good data is expected to be available. ... The more modern systems, especially the Mark5C recorders and the software correlators, approach this ideal and the recordings are started at the time specified in the VEX file for the start of good data. ... A recording scan is the time between stops of the recording media. ...

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. ...

File name for the fits binary table containing the PN source positions. usepnset . ... Controls whether the PN source list will be used as an input source list. m1set . ... File name for the fits binary table containing the MOS1 source positions. usem1set . ... If findofsets=yes, this value will be used as a starting value to find the optimal offset. yoffsetpnm1 . ...

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. ...

In this chapter we will consider an example of visual expert system written on the Actor Prolog language. ... There are a lot of methods of oil field bed stimulation that increase output of the oil production: thermal, physical-chemical, gas, microbiological, and others. ... Fig. ... The Top-Most diagram consists of three blocks: the "Describe parameters of hydrocarbon field" block, the "Check adaptability of existed methods of oil production" block, and the "Display solution" block. ... Gas methods. ...

... solve : find optimum fit in a grid of model spectra . ... It initiates an optimisation by starting with a grid of theoretical spectra, defined by model or read_grid , a set of starting parameters and an observed spectrum. ... The parameters to be optimised include: T eff , log g , n A , v sin i , v rad being effective temperature, surface gravity, an abundance variable, rotation velocity and radial velocity for one or two stars, and R 2 / R 1 being the relative radius of the second star, if present....

... The various Inst :Focus scripts allow you to take a series of exposures over a range of secondary mirror focus values, report the resulting FWHMs and optionally adjust the focus to the estimated best value. ... Slitviewer scripts assume the focus star is on the boresight. ... Focus scripts runs in three phases: . ... The script moves the boresight so the focus star is visible next to the slit, sets the focus to Center Focus, takes an exposure and tries to measure the star's FWHM. ...
