The POINTING fits in Chef can now be combined across several scans. This is indicated by adding the second parameter, C, to the SCAN command. The recipe for doing a pointing fit is then expanded to: SCAN Begins a new average with scan SUBSCAN STORE Do these two for every subscan ... POINTFIT Optional. Display results so far SCAN C Prepare to add data from to that from SUBSCAN STORE Do these two for every subscan ... POINTFIT Optional. Display results so far SCAN C Prepare to add data from to that from and SUBSCAN STORE Do these two for every subscan ... POINTFIT Do the final fit The resulting plot will be labeled with the first scan number and also a comment noting how many scans and subscan's have been combined. The Online Chef will do the equivalent if one adds the option, /APPEND, to the POINTING command for and . If one executes within Chef, @PROC:CHEFINIT DRUM, one will get several abbreviations defined to make manual pointing fits easier to do: PL Equivalent to one SUBSCAN & STORE pair PL2 Equivalent to two SUBSCAN & STORE pairs PL4 Equivalent to four SUBSCAN & STORE pairs PF Same as typing POINTFIT PLA Same as as many SUBSCAN & STORE pairs as exist for this scan COMB_FIT Combines the scans specified into a single pointing fit The COMB_FIT command takes two parameters, the first and last scan number to do (and all scans in between): COMB_FIT n1 n2 If you want to use COMB_FIT to combine scans that are not contiguous, you can fool it by typing: COMB_FIT n1 "n1 ..." where ... is the list of blank separated individual scan numbers (not including the first one, n1) and may even include one or more x to y by z phrases (i.e. the SIC for-loop syntax). The SUPPLY POINTING command in CHEF has been enhanced. One can now control whether the pointing fits get written to the OBS and System pointing files: SUPPLY POINTING SAVE Turns the writing on SUPPLY POINTING NOSAVE Turns the writing off (the offline default) SUPPLY POINTING ONLINE Turns the writing on & mails fits to OBSERVE (Only useful for Online Chef) SUPPLY POINTING STOP_ONLINE Stops mailing fits to OBSERVE (offline default)
