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 Observation
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.
