Wish list

Here are things that could improve the smoothness of next Nika runs

  • Use real coordinates instead of commanded coordinates: Az(El)_real = Az(El)_expected + TRACKING_AZ(EL); Az(El)_expected = AZIMUTH(ELEVATION) ? but TRACKING_AZ(EL) and AZIMUTH(ELEVATION) are in encoder units {in IMBF-antenna}, so use BASELONG(BASELAT) [= source position in the system defined in CTYPE1(CTYPE2) {in IMBF-scan}] and LONFOFF(LATOFF) [= offset to the source position] ? Note that CAZIMUTH(CELEVATION) seem to be the intended coordinates, but the commanded ones are these corrected by the inclinometer values (and possible other corrections).
