Class JObserve.Observation

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----JObserve.Observation

public class Observation
extends Object

Schedule and other information for a VLA observation. This was named ObsStructure in the C version. Generally public everything to ease translation from C.

There are a number of lists associated with an observation.

NRAO Default List: The NRAO supplied default frequency setups.
User Default List: The user supplied default frequency setups.
Observe List: The actual list of VLA observations.
Source List: List of potential sources to observe.
Calibrator List: List of potential calibrators.

The elements of the first four lists are type Scan and elements of the Calibrator list are type Calibrator.

See Also:: ListBlock

CalibratorList
CalibratorListFileName: File to save data from the calibrator list
CalNearList
CurrentListIndex: Index Current list.
CurrentListPointer: Pointer to the current list
DefaultList
DefaultScan: Default setup
EditList
LeapSeconds: Current number of Leap seconds since IAT and UTC diverged Having this as a global is really a horrible hack needed to emulate the c version.
Lists: Pointer to the array of linked lists, source, scans etc.
MailAddress: Somebody's mailing address (is this used anywhere?)
MustReschedule: Must the observe list be rescheduled?
myTelescope: Telescope specific information
NRAODefaultFileName: File to save data from the NRAO default column
NRAODefaultList: Symbolic values for order of the various lists.
ObserveFileName: The name of the file for observe cards
ObserveList
ObserveListFileName: File to save data from the observe list column
Observer: Observer's information

WorkspaceFileName: A file containing a list of other files
