The bolometers have two basic modes of observations:
  * '''On-Off''': flux measurement with a single pixel on a point-like source, using the wobbler switching.
  * '''Mapping''': On-the-fly map using the wobbler switching. By default the on-the-fly scanning is along the azimuth direction together with the wobbler switching. It is now possible to rotate the wobbler and the scanning direction to get rotated map.

Observing modes

The bolometers have two basic modes of observations:

  • On-Off: flux measurement with a single pixel on a point-like source, using the wobbler switching.

  • Mapping: On-the-fly map using the wobbler switching. By default the on-the-fly scanning is along the azimuth direction together with the wobbler switching. It is now possible to rotate the wobbler and the scanning direction to get rotated map.
