RECEIVER Rx_name [/LINE name] [/FREQUENCY F0 [{LSB|USB}]
[FIXED] [/CHANNELS n] [/DISCONNECT] [/IF i] [/WIDE]
Select or disconnect a receiver for observations and sets it up.
Rx_name is the receiver name. The receiver names are defined as the
character string * in the names of the files RX*.MRT loaded by the
drive program and by OBSINP (displayed when starting OBS).
The /LINE option chooses the line to be observed in the current
line catalog. If you want to select a line which is not in the
catalog, specify the /FREQUENCY option. F0 is the rest frequency in
GHz and LSB|USB select the lower or upper side band. If "FIXED" is
present, the receiver frequency will be fixed during the observation
(not doppler corrected).
The /CHANNELS option applies only if a Multichannel Bolometer is
connected. The no. of channels specified are written to the raw
data, and usually only channel 1 is reduced by RED.
The /DISCONNECT option can be specified to disconnect the
specified receiver.
The /IF command selects the IF to which the receiver is
connected. It should correspond to the hardware setup, and in
principle is correct when entering OBS.
The /WIDE option lets you select 1GHz bandwidth for some of the
receivers, currently for the A230, B230 and 345G. Note that you can
only use the 1MHz filterbank for the receivers, that are connected in
wide mode.
