The procedure simply observes ON your source for x minutes and then takes a `blank sky' observation OFF your source for the same amount of time and tracking the same azimuth and zenith angle range. ... If your scans are for 5 minutes or less, your wait time should be set to 1 minute (the default setting). ... 2 (scan duration) + (slew time) + (calibration time) A 5 minute ON/OFF + 10s CAL takes 11.3 minutes. A 7 minute ON/OFF, (which has a 2 minute slew time plus a cal) takes 16.3 minutes. ...
