Below is an example for updating the LBA block schedule for session February 2019.

The “availability” file (also includes availability of telescopes such as Tid) have the form:
# School Holidays School_Hols 001 0000 030 2400 School_Hols 099 0000 116 2400 # Parkes Maintenance No_Pa 27/01 2100 07/02 0500 # IVS No_Yg 003 1700 004 1700 No_HhHoYg 173 1800 174 1800
Note > 24hrs is supported and underscore is converted to space.
To extract IVS availability:
master2available.pl master21.txt
Note this script currently just looks for Ho,Hh,Yg,Ww and Ke. If other antennas are affected they should be added to the script
The schedule file has the format:
# 2021OCT LBA Block Schedule for Feb 2022 - 3cm Version 2.2 Time-stamp: <2022-02-07 14:05> Basedate 40 Start 2022 0 00:00 Stop 2022 4 03:00 # # 0.1 11-aug-2021 cjp : Initial draft # 1.0 28-sep-2021 cjp : First Release ############################################ # # Code Band setup Antennas start UT stop UT Comment/PI # setup/bandw(MHz) # ---- ---------------- ----------------- -------- -------- -------- # vt02bb lba3cm-2p-2IF All 0 0000 0 1300 Setup v252cb lba3cm-2p-2IF AtPaMpHbCdKeYgWaHhTi 0 1300 1 1400 Ojha v583c lba3cm-2p-2IF-64MHz AtPaMpHbCdKeYgWaTi 1 1400 2 0400 Titov
The schedule is wrt the “basedate”, which is doy. This does not have to be the start of the experiment (ie experiments could start days before or later). This allows rapid change of start date while planning - however no correction is made for changing LST wrt UTC.
The script sched_rise.pl
will calculate rise/set for ATCA and Parkes on a given date (dayno). The input file is experiment name and Ra/Dec (J2000). E.g.:
V560 17:31:42.263 -47:44:38.28 V558 04:37:15 -47:15:08 V255 09:03:14.78 -48:55:11.2 V255 11:39:22.88 -63:28:26.4

Note current year is assumed. This can be set with the -year
argument.
