There is an operational requirement. If we plan to continue observing while
moving
antennas around and re-calibrating their parameters (pointing, coordinates),
the
software must be flexible enough to allow re-connecting any antenna to any
sub-array when needed. This is an operator requirement, not an observer's
one.

There are quite a number of details related to the sub-arrays (e.g. deleay
reference, bandpass calibration, etc...) which we will have to sort out.
Need a more global view of the operation to do so.
