The Editors Pane

The Editors pane is the main interface that is used to specify a project. It actually contains three separate editors: Spectral, Spatial and another which is usually referred to as the Forms editor. These are selectable via the tabs although the Spectral and Spatial editors are only viewable when it is appropriate to do so e.g. when a Science Goal's Spectral Setup or Field Setup page is active. The Forms editor is always available to receive input and is also visible when using the Spatial or Spectral Editors. The name of the tab changes to reflect the currently chosen node in the Project tree.

Both the Spectral and Spatial tabs give access to graphical interfaces that are extremely useful for viewing a spectral setup, as well as for viewing and defining a field setup. It is highly recommended that these always be viewed when creating an ALMA project.
