PSWITCH Off1 Off2 [System] [/TIME T] [/SYMMETRIC] [/NOSYM]
Select a position-switched observation. The reference position
(off-position) is offset by (off1,off2) from the source position.
Current angle units are used. The System argument can be given to
indicate the coordinate system used for the off-position and can be
BASIS or HORIZONTAL; if not present, the default coordinate system
defined by SET OFFSET is used. The subscan length T (= on = off, in
seconds) may be also specified using the /TIME T option (default 30
sec).
The /SYMMETRIC option does a symmetric position-switched scan,
that is OFF-ON-ON-OFF series of subscans. The number of subscans
(selected by the SET SUBSCAN command) should therefore be a multiple
of 4.
The /NOSYM option gets back to the default mode i.e. a
OFF-ON-OFF-ON... sequence.
Note: switching in HORIZONTAL mode may decrease the intensity of
baseline ripples.
