This command will integrate about 30 minutes on the GRB and it will generate automatically the catalog with the GRB position.
Load the catalog with XEphem, choose a nearby pointing source and do pointing and focus as soon as the ''observe_GRB'' script is done.
Repeat ''observe_GRB'' script until reach the allocated time.
This command sends an integration of about 30 minutes directly on the GRB.
Pointing will be done afterwards.
Choose the pointing source using XEphem and the catalog that was automatically generated by the script (see GRB.edb in the XEphem list of catalogs).

Repeat the script until reaching the allocated time. Check the pointing every hour or so.

How to observe GRBs with the IRAM 30m continuum cameras

Log into the gismos-14 or the nikas-14 pool account at the observer desk (mrt-lx7) and start a PaKo session.

$ ssh -X account@mrt-lx1.iram.es  (ask the AoD/operator for the password)
$ gopako
$ pakodisplay                   
$ pakoGISMO or pakoNIKA

Run the script for GRB observations:

PAKO> @ observe_GRB RAhh RAmm RAss DECdd DECmm DECss

For example:

PAKO> @ observe_GRB  23  58  09.1  +83  49  58.2 

This command sends an integration of about 30 minutes directly on the GRB. Pointing will be done afterwards. Choose the pointing source using XEphem and the catalog that was automatically generated by the script (see GRB.edb in the XEphem list of catalogs).

Repeat the script until reaching the allocated time. Check the pointing every hour or so.
