Subsequent Scans

There are a few ways to add extra scans. A blank-slate scan can be obtained using the menu strip: FILE - CREATE NEW - NEW SCAN. It will be inserted after the current highlighted scan in the tree, and will become the active (newly highlighted) scan.

Another way to obtain a new scan is by using the icon menu. It has several icons dealing with creating scans. Using the icons for copy and paste, a new scan can be created from a previously created scan, and be pasted at any position in the scan tree after selecting (highlighting) the scan it has to follow in the tree. The same can be achieved using the icon with the little green dot (\includegraphics[height=3mm]{psimg/page_add.png.eps}), although this will paste the new scan directly after the scan that is copied, which is useful when building your scans sequentially.

You probably want to change your source of the scan if you place the new scan directly after the previous one (otherwise it is the same scan). Please take an effort to fill out the correct scan intent for each scan.

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.
