<!> '''VESPA''': Note that by default the receivers are in '''wide''' mode, except the 3mm receivers. The sky frequency
that you specify appears at 598MHz in the IF which is close to the upper limit of VESPA. The receivers should be configured
in '''narrow''' mode for VESPA for normal observations.

Bolometer

For the bolometer observations, put instructions and commands in your ObsForm.

  • The onf.pako macro allows an onOff integration, typically you can use it as: pako> @onf 20 35 (it performs a 20x60sec integration with a wobbler throw of 35")

  • For a complete description, check in CookbookPako

<!> Don't forget to fill up your ObsForm in the DB, it will ensure that your project is correctly observed.
