New Capabilities - 1.32

Version 1.32 of the OPT was released on 2023 Sept 06.

Note the following new features:

OPT

Multi-select in the OPT has been restricted to only allow scans within a single SB or SBs within a single PB to be selected for cut/copy/paste. You may cut/copy/paste scans from one SB to another SB in a different project, just not across multiple SBs or projects.

Scan and SB exports have changed.

SB export extensions are now .optSB (for an SB) and .optScanList (for a scan list).

NRAO Science Helpdesk can now be accessed through the OPT. There are two methods for contacting support:

In the OPT/SCT/RCT, at the top of the page, select Help → Contact Support. A pop-up box will appear for you to add a subject, message, and an attachment if needed.
In the OPT, at the SB level in the Validation and Submission tab, select the Request Help button. A pop-up box will appear for you to add a subject (this will be auto-filled with project code and SB ID), message, and an attachment if needed.

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

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on 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. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
