Calibration Setup
In this Forms editor, the user can specify which calibrators should be observed during the observations. Almost all proposals should request ``system-defined'' as the observatory will ensure that suitable calibrators are observed. If this is not desired, the reasons for this must be given in the technical justification. A user can enter two types of calibrator:
- Add Dynamic Calibrator...: In this case, the source is chosen at SB execution time based on some criteria (usually a search radius around a position and perhaps a minimum flux constraint) entered by the user.
- Add Fixed Calibrator...: Using this interface a specific calibrator source can be chosen when creating the proposal.
The calibrators that can be added are amplitude (flux), bandpass, phase and polarization.
