Bolometer's Observation
The most important commands of the old system have been adapted to the NCS. Here is a typical starting sequence for the bolometer.
Setup the Bolometer
Pako> @wbolo ! Mambo2, central pixel 53, short onoff (onf4), setup the bolometer commands
Sources Catalog
Pako> catalog source pool ! Setup the project source catalog BR Pako> catalog source ihet ! Setup the pointing/calibration source catalog
Pointing sources: J1419+240 not 1419+240. BR Pako is cASe-SenSiTIve for the source names.
Skydip, pointing, skydip
Pako> bt !Skydip at the current azimuth+start
Every 2 hours in stable atmospheric condition.
Pako> p40 !Short pointing for weak sources+start BR Pako> p60 !Long pointing for strong sources+start BR Pako> set pointing azcor elcor !Correct the pointing with azcor and elcor. Correction from MOPSIC (@p or @psn for weak source)
Pako> bf BR Pako> start ! Start the focus BR Pako> set focus sfcz !Correct the focus with sfcz. Correction from MOPSIC (@f or @fsn for weak sources) BR Do a focus when atmospheric conditions are changing, typically after sunset/sunrise
Before an Onoff, be sure you are pointing with the right pixel (20). Do a pointing before each Onoff or map if they are longer than 30 mn.
Calibration
Calibration on a [primary|secondary] calibrator
Pako> catalog source ihet BR Pako> source Calibrator_Name BR Pako> p60 BR Pako> set pointing azcor elcor BR Pako> onf4 ! Short Onoff integration (4 Subscans of 10 s) with central pixel 53
You may do a short onf4 after a normal pointing to monitor the pointing source flux.
Onoff and Map
Pako>onf 20 30 !Perform an on-off integration of 20 subscans of 60s with a wobbler throw of 30" BR Pako> @onf30 !Some project may have their own on-off macro
Don't try to make very long integration, you may loose the complete scan. In such a case use a loop.
Pako> bsw throw !Setup the wobbler throw BR Pako> bmap laz lel elstep azv !Setup an OTF map of laz azimuth length, lel elevation length, elstep elevation step and azv azimuth speed (arcsec/s). BR Pako> start !Start the map after you checked it is correct (it gives you the total integration time).
The speed should not be larger than ~8 arcsec/sec
NOTE: BR roff20 : set the pixel 20 for on-off (most sensitive one). BR roff53 : set the central pixel 53 (default with @wbolo) BR BR
Typical Bolo Session
A typical starting session could be as following:
Pako> @wbolo
Pako> source Mars
Pako> gain 2 ! special case for Mars, normal gain is 10
Pako> p60
Pako> bt !skydip
Pako> p60
Pako> set pointing 2. -6.
Pako> focus 1.1
Pako> start
Pako> set focus -3.5
Pako> onf4 ! Measure the flux of Mars
Pako> gain 10.
Pako> @wbolo
Pako> set project 175_05
Pako> catalog source ihet
Pako> source J0854+201 ! Pointing source
Pako> roff20
Pako> p40
Pako> set pointing 0.4 -6.4
Pako> onf4 ! Why not ?
Pako> catalog source pool
Pako> source 0927+2001 !Project source
Pako> onf 20 35 ! Do an on-off integration of 20 subscans of 60s
! with a wobbler throw of 35¨.
Pako> Ad Nauseam ... 
The set project Proj_Id will be necessary until it is automatically included in the source catalog.

Heterodyne observations are more complex in the sense there is much more options available. Since the NCS/Pako are still under heavy development, we give here a typical session. Some commands are the same that with bolometer observations. If the macros written by the PIs are not working ask the Pool coordinator or the AoD. Heterodyne Observation
