Moving About

The schedule created may not be your most preferred schedule, both in the details of each scan and in the order of the scans. If you desire to rename a scan or a scan loop (or a SB or a PB), at any time select the scan and edit the name or time interval, or reselect a (re)source.

By using the menu strip or the icon menu it is possible to delete, cut/paste and add any number of individual scans (or scan loops) to any position in the tree at any time. Some handy icons are the arrows that move a selected scan (loop) up or down in the current tree (i.e., keeping loops intact as loops), and in or out of a scan loop. Currently still fragile, but useful, is to drag and drop the scan (\includegraphics[height=3mm]{psimg/tscope.png.ps}) or loop (\includegraphics[height=3mm]{psimg/scanloop.png.ps}) icon to the desired location in the tree or loop. If you place the icon on top of another scan, this scan will be highlighted. When you drop the scan on top of another, highlighted scan, the scan will be placed directly after the highlighted scan; be patient when doing this as it will take some time to appear. This dragging only works on the icon, not on the name of the scan (which selects the scan). Always check the result. There seems to be issues with this feature if you are working deeper down in the left hand side column.

Connect with NRAO

The NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory and NSF Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NSF NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NSF NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NSF NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NSF NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (U.S. NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
