FIND /SWITCHING
LAS\FIND /SWITCHING Mode
Select observations according to their switching mode:
- *: any defined or unknown switch
- POSITION: position switch
- FREQUENCY: unfolded frequency switch
- FOLDED: folded frequency switch
- WOBBLER: wobbler switch
- BEAM: beam switch
- MIXED: special code for mixed modes e.g. after averaging spectra
- UNKNOWN: if the switching information is missing or no switching
performed (e.g. CALSKY).
Note that evaluating the switching mode is unefficient since this infor-
mation is not saved in the CLASS index, and requires to read each obser-
vation header one by one. Identifying observations by e.g. their date
and scan number is more efficient, either by proper bookkeeping at the
telescope, or with a once-for-all use of the /SWITCHING option.
