A typical radio dataset might be a 3-dimensional "cube" named AURORA, with axes RA, DEC and FREQ. ... These can be specified by giving the axis name(s) and grids for each subset. For instance, AURORA specifies the whole 3-dimensional ``cube''; AURORA FREQ 3 specifies the subset FREQ=3 (i.e. the RA-DEC plane at FREQ grid 3) of the set AURORA. ... Specifying only the axis name, and no grids, selects all subsets along that axis: AURORA FREQ selects all RA-DEC planes in AURORA. ... axis centre. ...

Allows you to specify a drift scan: motion at a constant velocity along a great circle. ... The path starts at the new object position (though the telescope actually intersects the path later, see Subtleties ). ... Note that the units are always /sec for both axes. ... The velocity along the path is 0.01 /sec. ... The path is assumed to start when you hit the Slew button (more precisely, when the TCC parses the command). However, it takes the telescope awhile to slew to meet the specified path. ...

Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ... Parameters can be fixed using the fix option of the regions public access point (for fixing classes of markers) or by means of a fix keyword in the definition of an externally loaded marker. ...
