Next: Standard On Up: Spectral-Line Observing at AO Previous: RECEIVER CHOICE . The readily available observing procedures, and those we strongly encourage observers to use, are the procedures available with the observing gui. ... Second - you MUST be aware that since you are observing using a non-standard procedure, the software may not exist to aid you in your data reduction, and the overworked computer department at Arecibo is under no obligation to write software for you. ...

The information path to prepare, perform and reduce a radioastronomical observation, using the Arcos correlator , is schematized in the figure: . The programs reside part on the computer network of the Arcetri Observatory, and part at the Medicina Radio Telescope . All programs running at Arcetri are written for a Sun workstation, and are public domain software, available upon request. Programs running at the telescope are written for a PC with DOS/Windows (or Linux).

... We have been upgrading the software front-end to WASP (Wideband Autocorrelating SPectrometer, operating from 800 to 4000 MHz) from Lynx-OS to Real-Time Linux and will discuss Real-Time software aspects. We are using a standard parallel ``PIO'' card to receive data from the spectrometer and standard GPIB interfaces that drive a frequency synthesizer for bandpass calibration. WASP and its front-end computer are fully mobile and can be taken to any suitable radio telescope. ...
